Weather, Ultrasound Shots and Miscellania.

I know we're not the only ones, but still: WHAT IS WITH SNOW IN APRIL???

Especially considering the area I live in is considered semi-arid desert!  We woke up to the 4th sub-zero (below freezing) day in a row this morning.  C. was going to buy and plant us a fruit tree this weekend.  He decided he didn't much fancy the idea of digging in the freezing cold.

This pregnancy is happening during the same seasons as last round, but I find I still can't get into my spring gear yet, so it's been a lot of jean-wearing at work.  One day, the sun will come.

Gus has been talking a lot these days.  He's been stringing words together, 2 or 3 at a time, too.   This is great most times.  What gets tricky is when he's obviously trying to tell us something and we just can't decipher it.  Not that most people could understand 'sunglasses' when he says it anyway. :)

We have a busy week ahead: my brother-in-law is getting married on Sunday and both C. and Gus are in the wedding.  We'll be leaving town Thursday night for a few days.  In the meantime, there's laundry, marking, and making sure that black dress I bought last month still makes me look good!

Oh, and the ultrasound went very well.  I happened to arrive early and managed to get into my appointment 15 minutes early, too!  Things went pretty smoothly.  Babe was moving around a bit so it took sometime to get measurements, but at the end s/he put on a great show: we got to see the mouth open and close and lots of hand and arm movement around the face.  We were able to ascertain knuckles, ribs, spine, heartbeat and even cute little bum cheeks!  (No, we have no idea the sex, and we didn't ask and I don't think the tech would tell us anyway.)
