I am happy to report that everything is going very well with baby “O.” The baby is a good size and seems to be growing along rather nicely. The only issue right now is that the placenta is above the cervix but I’m sure that will move around before the end of the pregnancy. We have some good pictures of the baby from all sorts of angles. The bones look nice and strong or at least the do to me and so does the spinal cord. Baby “O’s” little heart was just pumping away. We kept telling Isabelle that was the baby on the screen but I think she must have thought we were crazy, because her baby does not look like those babies in the magazines. And for those of you who are wondering no we did not find out the sex of the baby, it will remain a mystery until the end. Ben thought that I would cave and want to find out while we were there but I held out and was strong. I will tell you though that each of us saw different parts. Ben saw outdoor plumbing and I saw three lines, so who knows who will be correct. We have about eighteen (18) weeks to go and then we will find out. I think it is more exciting this way. Maybe on the next one we will have the doctor tell us what the baby will be.

Isabelle is doing great, she keeps adding to her words everyday. Yesterday it sounded like she said Grandma, so we are trying to get her to work on that a little bit more, so that all the Grandma’s will feel extra special. I think she also says I love you, but is not very consistent about it at all. Each day she adds to what she says and will soon be talking all the time I’m sure. If her chatter right now, shows anything for the future then she will be a little talker. Plus she is our little politician every where we go she is waving to people and saying hello and goodbye. At church she wants everyone to shake her hand as well, so she just sticks it right out. Watch out Hillary we have the next woman President. Along with all her words Isabelle is working on her first set of molars on the bottom. She does not seem to be phased at all by this new development. This makes my life easier.

Other than that there is not much else going on. We are preparing to head down to San Diego this weekend to watch Matt graduate from boot camp, so that should be and interesting experience. If the weather cooperates with us we will be going to Sea World to explore the underwater world, until next time.
