#2

The number 2 can represent so many things.

It's the number of cars that we store in our garage...

and the number of DVD's we watched in the car on the way home yesterday.

In October, it will be the number on top of L's birthday cake.

It's the number of times I get up to pee in the middle of the night these days...

AND

in February it will be the number of children we have!!

Below are a couple of snapshots from an ultrasound I had taken today. Baby #2 is 21 weeks along and due to arrive on or around February 1, 2010.

Baby is healthy and active and weighs approximately 1 lb. The first picture below is of baby's face (scary looking I know!) and the second picture is a profile of baby sucking its thumb. You could even see the little tongue sucking...amazing!

L doesn't really know what's going on yet. She will hug and kiss my belly and talk about how the baby is "right here!" Our conversations about baby go something like this...

Me: "L, do you want to have a baby at our house?"

L: "No."

Me: "What should we name the baby?"

L: "Uhhh...waffles?!?"

Me: "No."

L: "Toast?"

Me: "No."

L: "They're so nummy!"

Perhaps we should leave L out of the the baby naming process! :-)

Not sure if you know, but your blinking Be pharses are based on the book "Way to Be!" by Gordon B. Hinckley. It's a good read.
