Finally, I can [officially] let this cat out of the bag!!

Several months ago we discovered we were expecting another child in January [11th to be exact]. For several reasons, we've kept it to ourselves. But, after 3 ultra sounds and everything progressing nicely...we finally feel comfortable putting the news out there. On Thursday, we found out "it's a girl".

From Baby Girl Michael

It's been a crazy year or with moving twice [in several painful stages] and starting new jobs. We're very excited and feel very blessed. Just to get the typical questions out of the way; Kaye is feeling fine and no we don't have a name picked out yet. We plan to keep that to ourselves, as we did with Charlotte.

Oh, and just to give Charlotte equal time, here's a little video of our conversation on the way home from school the other day.

She's quite talented.

My latest moment of utter confusion.

The video is pretty boring. Just a little of Kaye nesting and one more sign that, soon, we will be responsible for another human being. Again, who's in charge here?

So we had an appointment with the Midwife today. Everything's coming along nicely...except...She mentioned that Kaye is 35 1/2 weeks along...which is funny, because all along I've thought she was 36 1/2 weeks along. Doesn't that seem like something I should know? I've been pretty honest about my complete cluelessness [word?] throughout this process, but I'm fairly sure that's not something I should have been confused about. After all, it's pretty important.

Well, apparently, while the ultrasound gave the 12/24/06 date, the midwife calculated a 12/31/06 due date for reasons I'm not prepared to explain here-probably because I don't completely understand them. Maybe I just liked the earlier date better, or maybe I'm that A.D.D....I don't know. In the long run, I guess it confirms what we already know...about my mental capacity.

It's a girl!

Luckily she has Kaye's nose.
Kaye's hoping she doesn't have my head.
The Tech said she was 95% sure it's a girl...although with my genetics, one can never be sure.

Who's in charge here?!!

I'm not really sure who allowed this to happen. Let's face it, we can barely handle the dog, let alone another human being.

We do have more recent pictures. I'll post them later.
