Pre-natal appt

We had our 3rd pre-natal appointment. It was just run-of-the-mill, so nothing to report. The baby's heartbeat sounded great! It was 140. I am measuring at 16, which is right on target since I am 16 weeks along. I also got the H1N1 flu shot while I was there. I was a little nervous about it because I'm the only one I know who has gotten one. I was kind of hoping to wait a bit, but since I'm hearing reports of people already having the flu, I went ahead and got the shot. The nurse brought in the paperwork to schedule our ultrasound for 4 weeks from now. Jeff piped up and wondered if we could get the ultrasound somewhere other than the normal place they send us to. The reason is because we want to find out the sex and the tech last time had a hard time telling us telling us any of the 3 times we were there before, the same tech just told the Davises that she's 60% sure that it is a boy (60%????) and Amanda talked to other people who had similar stories about the same tech. The nurse said 'no problem' and now we are scheduled to have it at Mercy on Nov. 23rd.

Isabella has been practicing her big sister skills. She's really taken to her Grover baby doll and a certain teddy bear and likes to feed them milk, brush their teeth and cover them with a blankie, pat them on the back and say "night, night". Her patting on the back sometimes gets a little out of control and she is full on force hitting them, but she's trying. It is even making bedtime easier as we get Teddy and Baby all settled in and then she goes right to sleep.

And maybe we'll pretend these pictures didn't happen..... her throwing Baby down the stairs....
