We're so excited...the ultrasound tech said as far as she can tell everything looks good. Only problem is the baby was laying tummy-down so they could view where the umbilical cord connects to the baby so I may have to go in at a later date for them to check that, but that's only because of the baby's position, not because there's something wrong. So all is well!
It's about time for me to start organizing the spare bedroom and cleaning out baby clothes from Tegan's room. She has an entire dresser that is being used solely for clothing that is too small for her. So, we are moving the dresser into the baby's room and putting a good bit of the clothing in the garage for later use. Still have to find somewhere for the computer...who knows where. The dining room is looking pretty promising at the moment. Other than that, I already got a pack-n-play. We never really needed one with Tegan since my mom already has one, but I found a cute one at a yard sale for a good deal. That pretty much leaves me with a crib, mattress and bedding left to buy. Tegan's crib is a 3-stage crib, so it will convert to a toddler bed here very soon. I'm hoping to purchase another one like it, so I've kept my eyes open for one on the army post's yard sale website. And still have to nail down a baby name...we already have 1 in mind in particular, but have to match it with a middle name. Tegan is doing well with the news (ha!)...I told her mommy has a baby in her belly and Tegan proceeded to lift my shirt and put her baby doll under it. Yes, clearly she gets it. :) Perhaps by the time the baby gets here...
That's all for now! Keeps us in your prayers!
First, there's Destonie (6 years old), then there's little Miracle (almost 2). I'm pretty sure the latter is at least 1/4 - 1/2 monster. She may look innocent in the picture, but please believe, she's a handful. Miracle does not believe, under any circumstance, in the power of sharing. Period. Destonie on the other hand is my little helper, although she tends to drive me bananas most hours of the day. She does not easily entertain herself, therefore tends to cling to me as her own personal source of minute-by-minute amusement. Their parents are both in the Army, so I watch them from 5am-5pm. Usually when the kids get here around 5 they go straight back to bed (notice I said "usually"). There are days when they refuse to sleep in and promptly march downstairs at 6am. This makes for a long day. All in all it's working out well...they come Monday-Friday so it's full-time, but I still get to spend time with Tegan, so it's worth it! I'll end my post with some new pics finally! Enjoy!
