Adventures in Calgary

Yesterday was our 18 week ultrasound. It feels like we've been waiting for it FOREVER! Not because we would get another look at our little babe but because we would hopefully find out if Molly was going to be having a new sister (like she was constantly talking about) or a little brother. I was afraid that the little gaffer wouldn't cooperate (the baby is our child after all) but we were in luck. Our little babe was more than happy to put his bits on display...again, again and again. The technician said 'my he IS proud' as she got more than an eyeful of Jake in all his glory.

Next on the agenda? Breaking the news to our little Molly. For weeks she's been telling everyone that she was going to be having a sister named "Kelp". And talking about how she was going to share a room with her new sister. She would make the odd comment about her brother "Oscar" but whenever we tried to talk to her about the new baby possibly being a brother she would just laugh and say "no mom, Kelp is my baby sister!". I was quite worried she'd be disappointed but Noel did an amazing job of getting her excited about her new brother Jake. And I'm pleased to say she's not mentioned a word about Kelp since...it's all Jake, Jake, Jake.
