Pics of Baby K 2

We had the ultrasound today. We did not find out the sex of the baby, so just deal with it. You will all find out when we do. The day little Baby K 2 decides to make an appearance. Which as we all know the estimated date is Christmas Eve. The lady actually printed us out quite a few pics. Check them out! Kind of neat. The baby is active and looks healthy. It was opening and closing its mouth, and trying to stick its hand in there. Everything looked good, so we we are happy and relieved.

Some options

Here is a list of names that we may be considering. Please share your honest opinion.

Elliot
Benjamin
Griffin
Bennet
Colton
Miles
Sebastian

Some of the names we aren't really considering, we just threw them in to mix it up. Just to test you.

Names. . .

We're still struggling for a boy's name. Granted we have a while until we need to name our child, but its still discouraging. We found one we both like. . .which is a tremendous feat. But I'm debating whether to share it yet or not. Its not set in stone like our girl's name. Sometimes its hard to hear whether people love or hate it. Ultimately its our kid, so we'll name them what we want. At first I thought we were having a girl again, but now I'm not so sure. Who knows?

Cute story about Maggie while I'm here. Maggie loves to read, and one of her favorite books is, "5 Little Monkies." I caught her "reading" to herself the other day in her room, turning the pages of that book, each time saying, "No mumpies Bed" and shaking her finger at them. It was cute, and I could watch her do it for hours and hours. I'll try to get it on video sometime and add it on here. Its pretty stinking adorable!

Tell me how. . .

Tell me how a 1 1/2 year old learns words you never taught her! We were at a baby shower yesterday, and she was running around pointing out all the usual things. Balloon! Ball! Baby! Berries! Cheese! Then she runs up to the table and yells out CUPCAKE! Sure enough a plate of cupcakes stared back at me. Maggie had never had a cupcake prior to that day, at least to my knowledge. She had no doubts about what a cupcake was, and the fact that she wanted one. Not only did she want one, but she wanted one badly. Badly enough to throw herself on the floor.

Besides that, when she was done being there, and when she decided it was time to leave, she blatantly told me, "WANNA GO!"

This girl is going to be hard to shut up very soon. Not that I would want to yet anyway. She is pretty hilarious. The shower we went to was in Joliet, and when I asked her if she was ready to go to J-Town, she said JTOWN! Funny girl. I love her.

She has also recently decided that if Mommy and Daddy are both home, Mommy is not good enough for much at all. If she needs help, and I offer, she tells me NO Daddy. If we are swinging or playing at the park, she says NO Daddy! I figure she'll outgrow that a bit, and someday I'll be good for somethings.

Oh yeah, that

Baby K 2 started squirming around this week. Well, perhaps sooner, but I started feeling it this week. Which is cool. Its just the tiny little pops right now, but still reassuring. I have my ultrasound on July 30th.

Maggie is getting as big as ever. She says something new everyday. Her most recent feat, is that she tries to say "Bye, see you later." But it sounds like some kind of foreign language as she rolls all of the words together into bubyseeeeelabaaler. Its pretty funny when you can get her to say it.

Nothing else is really new with us.

Clarification

Ok everyone. I am here to clear up some issues people seem to have with the blog. When you are leaving a comment, it will not show up right away. I have set the blog so that each comment must be approved by me before it will be posted on the blog. This way I can prevent just any old crap from going up on here. So, if you post a comment, and you think it didn't work, it did, I just haven't approved it yet. So don't worry! And no need to try and post again!

Baby 2 Update

Nothing very exciting. We had our montly appointment yesterday. There was a good strong heartbeat, and apparently, though I can't feel it quite yet, the doc said that she could hear the baby moving around like crazy, which is good. In 4-5 weeks we will be having the first ultrasound, which will put Baby K 2 at 20 weeks gestation. We have the option of finding out the sex, but didn't with Maggie. Jeremy feels strongly we should follow the same protocol with this one. I am torn. Thoughts are welcome. Also, suggestions for boy names are welcome, as we can only agree on a girl's name, and will be in big trouble if it does end up being a boy.
