This is another picture from my ultrasound. It's her legs and one foot. We were very happy to find out that she doesn't have clubbed feet like her older brother did.

Okay, I don't know how well you'll be able to see this. I didn't get a digital copy of my ultrasound pictures, so I finally just took pictures of the printout they gave me. The ultrasound was done in December. This one is her face.

Good Weekend

We had an exciting weekend! Saturday was my baby shower, which you can read about in my earlier posts. Then Sunday, of course, was Easter. We didn't do too much Sunday morning, but got ready for church. After church, Aaron checked his email and found out that he was accepted into an opera young artist program! He had been anxiously awaiting their email and we were both very excited to hear that they accepted him! Then while he was telling his family the good news, his cousin and her family arrived for our Easter dinner. We had a turkey, potatoes with gravy, veggies, cranberry sauce, rolls, and I'm sure something else... Anyway, it all turned out very good, and I think everyone had plenty to eat! After dinner, we sent the husbands and kids into William's room while the "Easter Bunny" hid eggs for everyone to find. It was a lot of fun watching them (including our husbands) finding eggs, candy, and a few little toys around the room. For the rest of the evening, we all consumed more sugar than we should have, but it was a lot of fun! It was a nice end to a good weekend!

Baby Shower

Saturday I had my baby shower. Ann (a friend from church) was kind enough to throw one for me, and despite it being Easter weekend, we had a decent turn out. This picture is one of the outfits I got. There are some more pictures, and if you still haven't seen enough, you can click the link to my photos on the right!

One of the guests at my shower brought a bottle of sparkling cider, so Aaron and I can celebrate our new baby!

My friends Melissa and Stephanie made this quilt for the baby. They sent the quilt and the rest of their present to the hostess of my baby shower, so I could open it there. What a special surprise.

This is the bucket that Melissa and Stephanie put together for me. It's got lots of pockets, and they were all filled with cute and useful things for me and the baby! Thank you Melissa and Steph!

A day in the park

Okay, I'm a little slow to post lately... This was from a couple of weeks ago. We met Aaron's brother at a park in Bellevue. While we had lunch, William chased a couple of ducks around the tables. Aaron got William's kite up in the air for a while, and William had a lot of fun on the playground. Here's a picture of him riding one of the playground's springy pony toys.

Johari Window

My friend Melissa put one of these on her blog, and it looked like fun, so I thought I'd make one for myself. I'd never heard of a Johari Window before, but here's a description from the web site:

"The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up."

So, anyone who knows me well enough, come tell me what you think describes my personality.
