It's a Girl!

We get to have one of each! And this means I have to get a new wardrobe. I think some of my newborn stuff will cross over. :) Bonnie (m-i-l) and I were talking about whether we'd be dressing her in pink or not. But I don't know of many other color schemes that go with girls. I know my s-i-l Laura had a beautiful alternative color scheme for her boys...

She's a wiggly little girl, made a challenge for the sonographer. I would totally be claustrophobic if I had as little space as she does. I'm used to Q's 'too much fluid' so seeing her in those cramped quarters made me nervous, but the doctors were fine with what she's got. I also need to keep in mind she doesn't have to breath!

All her parts looked normal this week so it looks like we won't have any problems this time around. We're super happy about that. They are still anxious to keep tabs on her due to my history so we'll be seeing the specialists lots more, but that's okay with me. I'm grateful they are SO thorough and vigilant. I prefer my babies healthy and alive.

I didn't realize until we'd left that we didn't take home any pictures. I'll get some next time.

*******************************************
I've been super sick this last week, I don't recall having sinus headaches before like this but it's been a doozy. Now it looks like Q is coming down with it, not surprising since we share everything. I hope he doesn't get as sick as I have! Both of us don't have many options for medication, so it'll be a bit more slogging through. Ian hasn't caught it yet, hopefully he won't.

We've been up at M&D Walker's a lot this week. Bellingham has the best kids consignment stores! We found Q a cute tiger costume for $10 and got stuff for me to make mine. We really wanted him to be Diego this year but aside from having Mom sew the backpack and vest, couldn't think of how to do it. Maybe we can make a Diego costume for Ian and Q can be his Baby Tiger!

Plus this was the 2nd installment of Walker Apple Pressing for the Fall. Ian was out there working away while Q and I muddled around. He liked picking apples. I hate cold and wet!

My sewing machine decided to go kaput right at the end of the big cloth diaper project. Bonnie and I took it to a place to fix it and found out it will cost the same as replacing it! I'm undecided what to do. Mine is a nice older model with sturdier construction than the new ones. Plus I don't need all the techy gadgets the new ones have. If I find the time I'll try to find somewhere else that might fix it. Until then I'm going to have to bum of Bonnie and friends for their machines. I have several baby sewing projects I'm prepping for.
