ole schnikees: 2017 :: 39/52 :: week 19 gender ultrasound

Monday night trevor had his first night of his tumbling class. he had fun. they don't allow parents in the room during class so I had to spy from outside the room. :) he got to do lots of stretching and warm up games, forward rolls, balance beam forward, sideways and backwards, and attempted one cartwheel. he was pretty good other than occasionally following the rouge kid running around the room instead of standing in line, but he went back to the line once the teacher told him to.

Tuesday we had our ultrasound. mom came down to watch trevor since Al was coming with me and the ultrasound was at 9 and the midwife appointment was at 1020a. the ultrasound was long (I had to pee 3 times within it) but baby is measuring right on track and from what the midwife got (the radiologist hadn't read it yet) everything was normal. then at the end of the ultrasound we found out babyO is a girl! so excited but kind of scared too. :) once the tech was out of the room, Al said, I told you so. :) we got pictures from the ultrasound, measurements, and then walked over to the midwife area to wait for that appointment. we got there at 950 and were able to get right in and see the midwife right away even though our appt. wasn't until 1020. it was a quick easy appointment where she told us the measurements were great/normal for baby, we listened to the heartbeat (150) and then I got a flu shot in order to hopefully avoid getting influenza this time around.

then Al and I went to target to pick up some household things, buy our first baby girl item (headbands), and buy a toy or 2 for trevor. we ended up getting him a baby girl doll for the reveal/telling him, a Frankenstein to paint, and a cars coloring book. we got home, wrapped his toys, told trevor there was a baby in my belly (to which he said, "where?"), asked him if he thought it was a girl or a boy (he said girl), and had him open his gifts. Trevor, mom and grandpa peter all got to know it was a girl when he pulled out the doll. we then took pictures of T with the doll and told our close family and friends. later that afternoon, I posted on facebook that T was getting a baby sister (which also announced I was pregnant on social media). mom stayed that night so after nap, we went to the apple orchard, then had dinner at olive garden. Al had training 3-7 pm.

Wednesday morning mom left to go work, Al had to work at 11am, so T and I walked to meet Jodi and the kids after they dropped cam off for school. we walked back to Jodi's house to play until 11 when Jodi had to leave for volleyball. we walked back home, played outside in the back for a while, then went in for lunch and nap. after nap, T had soccer again. it was a great night for soccer!

Thursday was prep and packing for our weekend at the cabin, but we did go to the children's museum in the morning with Jodi, chloe, graham, jenny, kourtlyn, jake, kade & Kinsley. T and I left early Friday morning for mom's house, picked her up, and headed for uncle jimmy's cabin. we stopped in motley at our usual park and then had lunch at dairy queen. we got to uncle jimmy's about 2ish and uncle Ronnie and auntie marlene were there. ron and marlene headed back to Ronnie's cabin after a bit, but marlene came back later for supper and hanging out. maren, nick, tula and baby etta got there just before dinner. it was gorgeous on Friday so we spent all our time outside and on the deck until dark. trevor slept great because he didn't have a nap.

Saturday was still nice out but super windy. we pulled the dock out, played in the leaves, went for a walk, took cute pics of the kids in their flannels, played, the kiddos took naps, ate, played some cards, auntie marlene came over for the afternoon, etc. it was a good day, even tho it was so windy. T took over 1.5 hours to fall asleep at bedtime when we were all super tired and wanted to go to bed.

sunday it rained pretty much all day. we packed up and drove to mom's in the rain. once home we learned that softball had been canceled so after supper, T and I drove home to eau Claire in some rain. it was Al's Friday and he got off work at 730p so we got to see him before we all went to bed.
