Ray was supposed to post some Christmas stuff, but apparently he has forgotten! I just reminded him, so hopefully he will have some time to get to it soon.
Carly had a wonderful Christmas. She is probably the most spoiled child I have ever met! She is now counting down the months until her birthday again, hehe. She is also counting down the days until the baby is here. She asked Ray the other day if she could rock him in his rocking bed (We looked at some bassinets with her a few days ago) and asked if she could sing to him. She is also helping my little sister, Jordan, make him a blanket. Carly loves referring to herself as "The Big Sister," and I think will do a pretty good job at it. We enrolled her in a Sibling Class at our hospital for May, which will show her how to hold the baby, help feed him, and etc. We also enrolled Ray and I into a similar class but for parents. I figured I can use the refresher and Ray... well, Ray is nervous as he can be. Hopefully this eases him a tad.
We had our anatomy ultrasound today. She says the baby is measuring perfectly, and weighing in at 9 oz. Almost to a pound! He was moving so much that she had trouble getting the measurements at first. She did confirm that, yes, he still is a boy. Although when she went to check that part he flashed it for about 2 second and then crossed his legs Indian style. She got another shot at the end and said he is definitely a boy! He also seems to have all his parts- the heart is fully developed, the umbilical cord is great, and he has all his body parts. Seems we are on time with a due date of June 10th. I'm feeling good for the most part, gained only 4 pounds (At almost 20 weeks, I am so proud of myself!) but still don't look anymore pregnant than I ever did. I have had a rough week, finally nausea has found me, and made me a little incapacitated for a few days. I am starting to feel better, and the doctor gave me some medicine to try and curb it. Ray has been taking care of me all week while I was bed ridden, and did a really good job of it! He also took care of Carly, getting her dressed, fed, off to school and back. He is definitely a good daddy to that kid!
I will pester him some more about the Christmas video/pictures when he is done working. And also, I will get the new ultrasound pictures scanned. Our doctor only gave us two, but we will get them up anyway!
