Hello all! I just realized I have not personally weighed in on my doctor's appointment. Speaking of weighing in, I did not realize it was possible to gain 12 pounds in 1 month!! I'm not saying I did that... a hem... but perhaps I should ease up on the Easter chocolate :)
Thank you, Kimberly, for your adorable post with our news. I couldn't have done it better myself! Great minds think alike because I, too, was going to do something similar with a sneaky and misleading title :) Everything looked great, according to the doctor. They want to do another ultrasound in 8 weeks to get a better look at the spine because the baby was not cooperating, but the doctor said there was nothing to indicate there would be any problem at all. We got to see the baby sucking her thumb and kicking her legs hard when we were trying to determine that she was, in fact, a girl. She looked a lot like Christa, but I guess all babies look the same at that stage.
Speaking of Christa, I do have a funny story. I mentioned before how well she's doing understanding that there is a baby in mommy's tummy. In fact, every time she notices my belly she wants to kiss it. So sweet! Well, I'm thinking she doesn't quite have the concept down, because last week she started pointing to Cline's belly and saying "baby"... and then her own tummy and saying "baby"... Now, I'm pretty sure we've just confused her and she thinks all tummies are called babies!
Cline is off this week to celebrate our anniversary - 4 wonderful years! Maybe I'll tell our dating/engagement story or something on my next post. We thought about going somewhere for the week, but decided to stay here and relax instead. We're hosting a prom dinner here on Saturday for Cline's brother and a group of high schoolers, and we have plenty to do to make the house presentable. Cline agreed to my not-so-subtle hints that I wanted him to hire a Spring Cleaning service for my Mother's Day present, so I'm getting that a little early. So we're spending the week cleaning in preparation to pay someone to come clean. Hmmm... perhaps I didn't think this plan through...
Well, I guess I should go shower since it's like, 1:30 in the afternoon. Have a great day!

I'm glad that you are doing well. Call me sometime Mrs. Busy Bee and catch me up. Riley is dying to see Christa again and play. BTW, have you thrown around any names yet?
Yeah, I meant to ask at dinner the other night about names!! So have you thought of any yet? Don't worry about Christa. Gracie used to point at her tummy and say my baby is in there. Or talk to Chris' tummy being funny. I think all kids do that no matter what age they are to some extent. If you decide to nurse just wait and see what happens with that HA!!! : )
Just saw this and thought it might be of use (though hopefully you are past this stage)!
To quell nausea:
Try frozen ginger chips. Add pieces of fresh ginger to hot water. Strain, then freeze the infusion in ice cube trays. Crush the cubes and suck the icy chips throughout the day to provide your tummy with a steady soothing treatment. Ginger's anti-nausea properties are particularly effective during pregnancy or after surgery.
LOL! I just read Shanda's comment about breastfeeding and thought of a funny story to share. About a year ago, my older son told me that his Thomas train needed some milk. He then lifted his shirt and put the train up to his belly button. Yes, more is yet to come! Enjoy the fun toddler "confusion!"
Christa sounds so sweet. Kaitlyn used to do the same thing too. As for the breastfeeding, picture a toddler walking around the store with her shirt up and a baby doll attached to her chest. Kids are quite the role models for acting out what they see. It is very fun to see your kids interact.
