We had our sonogram Monday to see if the baby was growing well and we got to find out that we are having another sweet baby girl! I was really suprised. When we started the sono I told the sonographer that I was sure we were going to have a boy. I'm not sure why I felt so strongly that way, but I had already made a list of positive things in my head either way; boy or girl. We are really excited, and she looks great. She's measuring right on everything seems to be growing and functioning the way it should. I am amazed at the miracle of life and how every little detail weaves into creating a baby. She was moving around, yawning, and waving her right arm. We even got a picture of her doing the "thumbs up" sign.
Awww....the world of sisters. I didn't grow up with a sister, so this is new territory to have two girls. My good friend said she saw wardrobe wars in our future. Probably so:) Feeling so blessed to have a son and almost two daughters. Plus, the bonus was that Alex made it home just in time from a two week trip to go with me.
The older I get, the more I realize that little things really do mean a lot. When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that I needed to find more joy in the little things like trees, and playing games, and relaxing. She's right, and so I'm starting the journey...and it's about time.

Making Valentines
We took on a little project of hearts and glitters in honor of Valentine's Day. Oliver made valentines for his classmates at preschool (with a little help from Meredith). It's been snowy and cold here, so it was good to have a project to work on this afternoon. We also made sugar cookie dough so we can make heart cookies and decorate them for his class.
