Well as Graham mentioned both Alisa and I went for the Ultrasound.. I wasn’t sure if they would let me try the Ultrasound, but as I convinced the OB I was a photographer she said it would be ok. Here is the image we took of my stomach..

What?! Who comes up with the names for groups of animals and birds? Julia bought Who Wants to Be A Millionaire at Value Village for $2. We’ve played it several times over the last few days. Last night while playing with Lisa’s parents (who were here for the weekend), one of the questions was asking what a group of owls was called. The options were Senate, Congress, Parliament and Government. I guessed Congress, but the correct answer was Parliament. Weird!

I saw this today and couldn’t resist…

Thank you to everyone who has given or sold me coins. Not much has changed since the last update. I pretty well have all the current coins, but I’m always on the lookout for the older ones. Since the last update I have gotten one of the 2006 Olympic Loonies, but I’d still like a couple more.

As always, my list of coin needs is at http://gawing.com/coins/

This has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, but it’s still good…

What goes ha, ha, ha, plop?
Someone laughing their head off.

After the long awaited arrival I now have a door. The bedsheet thumbtacked to the door frame will be greatly missed but truly it is in a better place.

Thanks Dad and Graham!

This afternoon I had my first appointment with my midwife. She was great and we got along very well. The clinic is in a house so it’s casual and homey, much more suited to me than a doctor’s office. I felt very comfortable there.

I’m back on the 25th of April to see if they can hear a heartbeat. Exciting!

Last night after dinner Andrew was sitting on my knee  at the kitchen table while Graham cleaned up the dishes. Andrew excused himself, got down, stood beside me and tooted. He looked at me and said “I didn’t toot on you”. Graham and I thought this was hilarious. A few days prior Andrew came up to me, put his bum on my shoulder (I was kneeling on the floor) and tooted on me (I wonder who he learned that from). I told him, that was disgusting and to never do it again. Go figure, Andrew listened. It’s a break through for our household.

 

I just wanted you all to know that Ryan & Lillian got their report cards last week. Ryan got straight A’s in academics & all but 1 A in conduct. He got a B in conduct in Art. We have issues with that teacher! Lillian has straight E’s (Excellent) -that is a Kindergarten A,except for her handwriting grade which was an S (Satisfactory). Lillian is also being tested for the gifted program, her reading is off the charts. A local bowling alley gives kids a free game for every A they receive on their report cards. A maximum of 6 per child. So we will all be bowling for free. Thanks for the DNA Mum & Dad!  

She was in tiers.
