Here she (or he) is!




Yesterday was our first ultrasound. Even though you cannot see much at this point, I was still very excited. With Odin, we only got the one ultrasound at 20 weeks. I'm not sure why they scheduled me one early this time, but I'm not complaining! We keep calling it a she, even though of course we don't know yet, but it feels like a she...and, well, we'd like it to be a girl :). So, right now it looks like a kidney bean, and is about the size of one! She moved a little for us, and we saw the flickering heartbeat. Her heartrate was at the top of the range for this stage of pregnancy, so she is doing well! They also found a cyst, which looks like a sac with no baby in it...but she said that's normal and should go away during the pregnancy.


Also, today was our first day back at MOPS! I realized today that Odin just isn't a baby anymore. He is walking, and still I put him in the baby room because I was worried that toddlers would bowl him over. Well, when I went to get him he wasn't too happy...I think next time he will be with toddlers where there are toys. He loves playing with his older cousins, so I think that's the best thing. It's just so sad to think he isn't a baby anymore!


So far I have completed one new design for Christmas cards. By the end of the month, I will be adding these designs to my shop, and probably some handmade cards as well. I am also planning to do an email list for those of you who want to be informed of updates to my shop, giveaways, etc. Let me know if you want to be added! You can just leave a comment for me.
