and we are having...


...a modest child... the bean actually had a hand in the way protecting certain vital parts. Most important is that all major organs look great. I couldn't help but be a little paranoid while waiting since I work at a pediatric cardiology office...
I guess we will find out at the time of arrival. If this had happened the first time around, I think I would have been pretty upset or persistent to still find out, but I am actually glad to have this be a surprise. Back before I was ever pregnant the first time, I was always disappointed when everyone was finding out the sex of their baby. Then I became pregnant and I understood. Its not a bad thing to be forced into waiting for the surprise, one with knowing, one as a surprise. On that note, as we contemplate names for both, maybe we'll actually share that with you all in advance since that won't be our only secret.


'Mom, why do you make me stand in these flowers every week??' Or it could be that she's just plain mischievous? The joys of approaching 2 years old. Grace's personality is so strong, which most of the time results in hilarious moments, but it can also be incredibly challenging. Especially when she begins to combust spontaneously before our eyes and nothing gets her to calm down. Holding on to our discipline principles.... And then she's so darn cute when she's sound asleep, and the moment the food kicks in and she goes from monster to butterfly in 0.7 seconds... ah yes...more spring wildflowers... am I obsessed?- yes.
