Sugar and Spice

and everything nice.

We're having a girl!!!!

Kase has broken the family trend of having boys first. He's always been a trend breaker. We are super excited. It was so fun to see the little one's face and bones and fingers. The baby was very active. Kase's mom and my mom were able to come with us to the ultrasound. It was so fun to have them there. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited Kase is. I love it.

It was so cool to see the baby move on the monitor and feel it move at the same time. Weird! Amazing that she has grown from a tiny blob to a tiny baby.

Everything looked good on the ultrasound except one of the baby's kidneys looked a little off so we will have to keep an eye on that. It's kind of scary, but I feel that whatever happens she will be ok. Plus it means we get to do another ultrasound that's covered by insurance, and see our baby again.

Any girl name suggestions? We had a boy name, but I think girl names are harder. There are so many!

Guess!

It's that time.

Thursday we go to the doctor for our 20 week ultrasound. (And the only one covered by insurance so let's hope it goes well.) I'm so excited to see our little one. Yes we are going to find out (hopefully) if it's a boy or a girl. (Assuming the baby cooperates.)

So if you want to guess beforehand please do!

I am guessing girl. I just feel like it is a girl. But I'm probably wrong. I will let you know!

Guess away!

This weekend...

was really good. However, it first started out on Friday with my bad lunch experience. Should you care, I will share it with you. If you don’t care skip this paragraph. I can’t promise the next paragraph will be any better though. Friday, it was 2 ladies’ at work birthday. So several of us decided to go out to lunch at a new-old place downtown. It is a new-old place because it use to be some sort of cafeteria I think in the 60s and it has recently been re-opened as a restaurant with retro decor. Sounds awesome right? WRONG! Only if you happen to be super rich and can spend $20 dollars on one lunch. I tried to order something cheap like a side salad or a bowl of soup. Which they only have one soup which is gross and a bunch of expensive wierdo salads. You know the kind with some random gross thing like pickled radishes thrown in. So I ordered chicken with mashed-potatoes and green beans. Then, after waiting forever, they bring out the wrong thing for my coworker across the table from me. She didn’t want to complain because we didn’t have time to wait for them to make something else, but for health reasons she couldn’t eat what they brought. I look at her meal and think "YUM french fries and a chicken sandwich! How did I miss the only normal food on the menu?" So being very generous and desiring of french fries, I offer to trade. Sounds awesome right? WRONG! The chicken sandwich was fish. I DON’T LIKE FISH. So to make a long story short..... I paid $19 for a LUNCH that I didn’t like one bit. (OK the fries were good.) I do not recommend the S&W downtown. NOPE. Kase and I couldve went out on a date and ate together something good for that much!!!

Anyways. So the rest of the weekend was good. Friday we visited my brother-in-law’s family, played and snuggled with the nieces/nephew, and ate pizza. Saturday we took the dog to get her shots and to the dog park. It was fun to see all the different kinds of dogs. I decided our dog isn’t so bad. She was slightly impressed but really just wanted to go home. Dog snob I guess. We also went to a friend’s birthday party. It was Chinese themed with a murder mystery. That was fun. Although I don’t care for Chinese food, it wasn’t so bad. Sunday we went to church, made good food, and relaxed. Monday we went to really good friend’s house and had YUMMY chocolate chip pancakes.

So I just noticed that my life pretty much revolves around food. Sad huh? I’m going to blame that on being pregnant.
