I had another ultrasound on the 26th. My doctor wanted another check and to make sure baby is not breech. She's not; she's head down, and we were happy to have 100% confirmation that she really is a girl :) Hard to see anything in that photo, but the woman assured me that there is no doubt. We've also got a scary looking picture of her face and then one of her profile. She's got at least one hand up by her chin. She weighs just over 6 pounds right now.
Bags are packed for me and the boys, and we have two families on call to help us out. We installed the baby seat bases in our cars, and of course everything fits just fine in the Volvo but it's a bit of a squeeze in my car. It should be fine, though.
Laundry, laundry and more laundry.
More talk/questions about "when is the baby going to come out of there?" We've successfully avoided answering the "how" questions. I don't remember how we got on the subject of diapering, but they wanted to practice on their monkeys.
Me being tired has meant a few more fast food runs. The boys are quite okay with that.
We hit Dairy Queen before going to the pool the other night. Zach was so excited to order a sundae with chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, AND sprinkles.
Playing at home:
I started reading a chapter book to them at bedtime. It's about science and the universe, so Zach is totally into it and Gabe's about 50% on a good night.
While we are thrilled that the boys seem to be getting along better and playing together more this summer, we never know what we'll find when we check on them at night. Either they have decided to both camp out on the floor or together in one of the beds. And sometimes it is hard to wake them up and get them settled again, especially for me being so pregnant and Frank with his back. Crazy monkeys...
