This is for anyone who could not decide what the ultasound photo was supposed to be showing....lol I have (not very well) outlined the head, eyes, nose, and mouth, and a little foot, and the other thing is either the umbilical cord or an arm reaching up to suck its thumb.... And here is the ultrasound photo without the drawings... Do you see it now? Love you all!!! ~Kristen the smarty pants. :P

Look!! Here's the baby's face. We didn't get a really good picture, like I said--because this baby was very comfortable facing the way it was...and was NOT going to turn for us! Anyway, I think it looks a lot like Davey. Sorry, its kinda blurry-- And here is my belly: at 10 weeks, 3 days and at 20 weeks, 3 days Aww!! I think my butt got bigger more than my belly did. lol look at that round thang!! 

BABY!!!!! LOL   had you goin, huh? haha Big u/s was today, and everything was good--but they said the kidneys look a little dilated (a little fluid on them) and they want to do a follow-up scan in 4 weeks. I'm kinda worried---but they assured me that its nothing life-threatening. The worst that could happen is that it would cause a "kink" in the little tubes and baby would have to have surgery to straighten them out. I'm making myself think positive that everything is going to be FINE!!! I was disappointed that we didn't get a very good picture. I have a very comfortable, lazy or stubborn--however you want to look at it--baby. We could not get this baby to turn for a profile view! Its a little ham!! Just wanted to look straight at us the whole time! (lol, I know its not really looking at the wand thingy) That was the way it was with my 12 week u/s!! Hopefully when we go back we can get some better pictures. And I stayed strong and didn't ask the gender,

YAY!! And I'm not a huge cow like I thought I'd be!! lol I'll try to find my memory stick so I can post a picture later. :) The big ultrasound is tomorrow--I'm worried. ;) That they're gonna slip up and tell us the gender!! It wouldn't be the end of the world, but---I really want to wait!! Its so great now, knowing that this little baby is starting to respond to our voices. Genna-Clair makes the baby kick like machine-gun action, and Trip makes the baby roll...its really strange! And of course, if the baby has been kicking and then Davey starts talking, it gets really really still, like it doesn't want to miss a word. lol Its happened enough times now to know that its a response to them. Crazy, isn't it? I've been really tired and un-motivated lately. Kinda feeling like a loser. I want to clean my house and do things with my kids, but I can't find the energy to do it!! I mean, a week ago I could--and then a bunch of CRAP happened, and then Gen

Well, Genna-Clair had her surgery this morning. She was a little champ, so happy and thoroughly distracted as long as we were holding her, giving kisses or tickle bugs, and reading books. Then they took her to the holding area to prepare for surgery. She was okay, then they came in and the anesthesiologist talked to her and they put a blue cap on her head, and a nurse wrapped her in her blanket, took her and her teddy bear and her lovie blanket(a burp cloth with a colorful ribbon and the letter G sewn onto it) and took them to get their tonsils out. Thats when she started crying. It was so sad!! By the time we got back to her room, they called down and told us that she did well with the anesthesia and that they were starting surgery!! About an hour or so later, they brought her back on her bed, with a nurse holding her to comfort her. Then they handed her off to me, and she lost it!! She was so sad that they had taken her away from her mommy--to the slaughter--and now she got to have

Which will it be?! lol--you're all just gonna have to wait because its a SURPRISE!! :) I'm having a really really hard time coming up with a good name for a little girl--you know, just in case. But we already know a little boy will be Davin!!(like Gavin with a D) possibly spelled Daven ... We've known that since Genevieve was on the way. :) I'm thinking I kinda like Davyn for a girl, too---of course with the different spelling. But baby's daddy likes Elenore....or Ellie. I really do like it too. (see the cd at the bottom of the blog) David, Genevieve, and Elenore. lol (Trip, Genna-Clair, and  Ellie  or  Davin ) We also kinda sorta like Miriam...but we would just call her Miriam, NO NIC-NAME. lol Let's cross our fingers for a boy, shall we?! lol 18 weeks and counting!
