WHEW. Today was an exhausting one! I find that breaks/vacations are busier then everyday life and you end up more tired at the end of them then when you began! Today was BUSY. We got some more cloth diapers (yay!) Fun colors and some more hemp inserts too for night time. I know cloth diapers probably shouldn't make me this excited but they are awesome and I will highly recommend them to anybody thinking about them. (or not thinking about them). I also found out that this place Ecobuns.com has re-useable nursing pads! I might have to invest in some of those in a few months... :)
After we got some more diapers we came home for a quick nap and then we were up and getting ready for my ultrasound. Drinking 32 oz of water doesn't sound like it should be that hard (which it isn't) it's the aftermath of not getting to pee. But I did a lot better than last time and held it.
The ultrasound result: (drumroll please) It looks to be a girl! She was very calm through the whole thing and sat still so that the tech could get all the images she needed to make sure she was healthy. Which is more than I can say for Tristan... he wouldn't sit still for anything! But... Lucy (which is the name we've decided on) was very modest and sat with her legs crossed through most of the exam... but we did get a few shots of her and it looked like she was negative for boy parts. We are very excited about having a little girl and I know that Tristan is going to be a GREAT older brother.
Gaetan's mom came out of the ultrasound... as she was here for the last one. She was SO EXCITED. We were very surprised that she made it through the ultrasound without crying... but as soon as we left the office the water works came out. :) Love Oma for all her passion and love for her grandkids!
We of course had to celebrate... so we had a delicious lunch/dinner and got Tristan a CRAP ton of winter clothes. Old Navy was having a sale... :) And we of course had to get little Lu a few cutesy onesies... brown polka dots and another one was pink stripes. I love me some pink, but I would prefer not to have her whole wardrobe dominated by that one color!
After all that I went to give a lesson and by the time we got home it was almost time for Bugga to go to sleep. Whew. What an exciting/busy day!
There are a handful of things we are hoping to do this week. Bugga and I already made some blueberry muffins... am hoping to bake a pumpkin so I can make some more pumpkin soup. Also, there is this triple chocolate truffle cake that I've been meaning to try :) Will have to let you all know how those turn out. And of course there is Thanksgiving with the fam! We are going to my parents, and Gaetan's parents are coming and Holly and her family are coming too! It will be a FULL HOUSE.
Looking forward to this break and all this time with my husband. :)
