Yesterday was the normal level 2 ultrasound. We went to the perinatologist again just for reassurance that everything is good. They were very kind and made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed. This baby is just like her sister in that she doesn't follow directions well. She was continually stretching out her legs and throwing her arms across her chest. It took several tries to get all the necessary angles for the doctor to see that everything is present. Everything looked great and seems to be developing normally. She is measuring right on target for her due date, Oct. 24th. Grace can't wait for her to get here. She wants to hold her, feed her, play with her and talk to her. We have tried explaining that the baby won't be able to do all those things right away, but Grace doesn't quite understand. Grace has seen the pictures and was able to pick out the baby's foot. I will go back to the perinatologist at 28 weeks for another scan and I hope to take Grace with me. As for names no definitive answer yet but we are looking at a few possibilities. We'll let you know when we come up with something.
In the meantime Grace and I are spending our summer by the pool in the morning with our good friends. Then we rest and back out to play and rehydrate in the sweltering heat. Dance camps start next week and I hope to work several over the summer for some extra dough. We are also cleaning out closets and making a few trips to good will in order to get rid of some of the clutter. I say some because it seems to multiply overnight and I know it will never truly disappear.
Our countdown to Disney has officially reached the one week mark. We are excited but dreading the heat. We plan to take breaks and spend time in the pool as well as wear light clothing and drink lots of water. Grace is excited to eat with the princesses as well as Pooh and Mickey. She wants to ride all the rides, but not the scary ones. Hopefully we will make it without killing each other. We are going with Grandma, Papa, Aunt Anna, Uncle Jason and Taylor; should be interesting. We are only going to have three days there which should be just enough time to see what we want and bankrupt the accounts for summer, if the gas getting there doesn't do that first.
