So, I don't think ever in her life, Isabella will hear that she is a wallflower. She is definitely quite the opposite and is becoming quite the little spitfire who makes me laugh daily. We have started Mommy and Me class again and she enjoys it. They do art projects, sing songs (which she does not sit down for) and there are lots of new toys there to play with. They also do a seperation hour where the parents go upstairs and meet with a teacher educator and the kids all stay downstairs and do activites with the child development workers.  I think this is great for Isabella where I stay home with her because she really needs the seperation time.  We do a lot of playdates but I am always there and its not very often that she gets to experience the whole leaving and coming back scenerio.  One of her favorite things to do is to paint and this week we have been experimenting with different ways to paint.  We made a huge art box today where she can place a piece of paper inside and then add objects that we dip in paint to see what designs they make. She absolutely loved it especially when we put in golf balls! Isabella has had a great week in regards to sleeping and eating so I think we are back on schedule from our vacation. Lol... There is one bad habit that apparently has not been broke from our vacation. A couple of days ago, we were in the kitchen cooking and she ran off to find her ball. Well, she found it and started rolling it on our kitchen floor but it went over the ledge into our living room. Isabella looks at me and asks " Mommy, where ball go?". I replied that it went over the ledge into the other room. Isabella then lifts her arms up over her head, slapping them down on her hips and looks at me and says with much drama "oh, Jesus". I was shocked because she has not said it since the time in Newfoundland when we went over the bump in the car! I pretended to not hear her because I was trying not to laugh but inside I was bubbling over and had to call Glenn as soon as Isabella went out of the room. She is quite the character! Isabella has also really been into having tea parties lately and is always asking for water for her kettle and taking you by the hand to her table and pouring you up tea, she is so sweet!

Baby Bump - 21 weeks

It's a..... BOY!!!!

Yayyyyy!!! This afternoon, the three of us went to the ultrasound appointment. We were able to check out the baby for close to a hour so it was well worth the trip! In the first 5 minutes, they located the parts that we were waiting to see and sure enough, there were boy parts!!!! The baby looks a lot like Isabella at this age, both of their legs are super long and way up over their heads. During the ultrasound, the baby was moving around a lot so I asked the ultrasound tech to tell me what part was jabbing me so hard, lol, it turned out to be the shoulder. Glenn is super excited because he thinks we have a little hockey player on our hands who is already checking :) I am 100% percent confident in the name that we have picked out for him but Glenn wants to wait a little while longer before we announce it!

New Baby...

So, I thought that it was about time that I started blogging about the new addition to our family.  We are almost 21 weeks pregnant and will be expecting a brand, new bundle of joy around February 22nd, 2013.  I feel awesome even though I feel like I am huge already.  We had our ultrasound on Wednesday and the baby did not coperate with the ultra sound tech in showing his or her sex.  The tech thought she saw something between the legs but then the baby automatically moved so she was unable to confirm anything but said that she would say 70% percent boy.  At the our neural scan at 12 weeks, the tech said she would guess boy at 60% so I think it is a boy!  We are super excited and Isabella could care less :)  I needed some retail therapy after the big ultrasound so went to Pottery Barn Kids and made use of my Friends and Family discount.  I created a registry for MAB and decided on a nautical theme for his nursery.  LOL...If it's not a boy, I will just return the things that I bought but I am quite confident in my purchases.  The OB/GYN on Friday said that she would guess it was a boy as well because of the heartbeat.  It was 152 on Friday.  Isabella's heartbeat was always high and I don't think it ever fell under 165. She said that if I wanted another ultrasound that I could make an appointment at the university and they do hour long ultra sounds there to determine sex, so of course, I am all over that.  Waiting for them to call me back with my appointment as we speak. As soon, as Glenn gets home today, I will take a bump picture since we are behind on those as well.  Stay tuned!
