A Sneak Peek

On Thursday afternoon, my daughter, son and I met up with the family of this little baby growing in my belly for a 3D ultrasound. It was fun explaining to the tech who we all were. “These are my two kids, the one in my belly isn’t mine, it’s theirs, this is grandma to be, auntie, uncle and the baby’s two big brothers.”

The place we went to was nice and comfy with a big couch, chairs and a huge flat screen TV for everyone to get a good view of the ultrasound. The baby was awake and active and it didn’t take long for the ultrasound tech to point out “girlie parts”! They are having a little girl and are so happy! She was squirming around for a good amount of time, waved her little hand, then settled down to rest. My little girl kept saying, “Oh, she’s so cute!” It was so wonderful to share this experience with my children, so they could see the baby and the family that is excitedly awaiting their newest addition.

The June gloom has finally cleared and we had a fantastic day today starting with going out for a pancake breakfast followed by a stroll to farmer’s market while our house was being cleaned, something mom to be generously offered to have done during the pregnancy. Their thoughtfulness and caring have made me feel so appreciated and pampered. Coming home to a clean house is spectacular! I wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible so we headed to the beach for the afternoon. Today was the perfect start to a wonderful weekend!
