Theresa & AC Visit Boston!

We had a very fun weekend this past weekend!  Theresa and Anna Catherine came to spend the weekend with us from Chattanooga.  Anna Catherine is 16 months old and, boy, is she fun!  I commend Theresa for getting her up here on Friday - it was no small feat I am sure.  I don't think AC liked being couped up in a small space for such a long period of time, but they made it!  They arrived Friday night just in time for dinner and then we all headed to bed shortly after.  Saturday was a very fun day - we took AC to the Boston Public Gardens (my FAVORITE part of Boston!!) and let her run around and play all day.  We also took her to the Children's Museum in Boston which was a lot of fun too.  I think she enjoyed the opportunity to run and play after being in airports and planes all day the day before.  Sunday, we went into the city and met my friend Sonia for brunch and then took AC to a playground and did our best to wear her out the rest of the day before she had to get on another plane.  She is soooo much fun and has so much energy.  It was so nice to spend the weekend with them both and I missed them the moment we said goodbye!  Theresa showed me how to get Skype on our computer so that now we can call them and actually see them at home through the web cam!  I am super excited about that.  Now, I can watch her girls grow and Theresa can watch my belly grow!  Here are some pictures from our wonderful weekend.

This was so cute - Anna Catherine loved having Grant read her books - he would let her pick which one she wanted and he would read - she likes flipping the pages a lot :)

This is part of the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue at the Public Gardens.  Kids LOVE these things and you have to wait in line to get to them.  AC loved sitting on each one and petting them.  It was so cute!

Ultrasound 2!!

I went yesterday for my second ultrasound and boy was this one better than the last one!  It was so exciting to see our little baby!  This time, you could actually tell that it WAS a baby which was so unbelievable.  It was moving around and flipping over - it was incredible!  I couldn't believe that I was actually seeing my little baby in there.  I could see both legs and both arms (sigh of relief) and all of the little ribs and spine.  I can't believe how much its grown in just four weeks!  The doctor said everything looks great and our little one is growing and looking perfect!  We are so excited.  In only six more weeks, we'll get to find out whether we're having a he or a she!  We can't wait!  Here are a couple of pics from the ultrasound.

This is a close-up of the head and profile.  You can see the brain! 

This is the whole little baby!!  It's kind of turned upside down on its head, but you can see the spine and the legs and even the little nose!

Yesterday was a great day - very exciting.  We can't wait until May gets here!!
