14 weeks and 2 days Doctor's visit & a whole lot more!

Here we are! Mommy and the 3 babies:) Today we had our routine doctor visit. It was quite exciting :) Sophia was able to experience what is going on with her Mommy and little sibling. She heard Lightening McQueen's heartbeat and she heard him/her move around in Mommy's tummy! What a treat! She was so excited and loved every minute of it! She had a smile from ear to ear!! :) Everything is going great with the pregnancy; the baby seems to be right on schedule. Music to our ears :) The next visit is set for April 19th and at that visit we will do blood work ONLY. Can you believe it! We wont do an ultrasound!!! Doctor said he wanted to wait until I was closer to 22 weeks... he said it was easier to tell at that time if the baby is a girl or boy.... sigh... so the wait continues to find out if this is little boy Lightening or little girl Lightening...

 

So, for some fun ;-) I read on www.babycenter.com  that we could do a little gender testing ourselves... all I had to do was pee on some baking soda; if it fizzed then we're having a boy! If it didn't fizz then we are having a girl!! Well, the results were: FIZZ! ha ha! I asked Mike if he would pee on some baking soda so we could see what it would do? He said, "No" :( As I was explaining this to my sister, Natalie. She said when she got home she would do it! Well, thank you very much sister!! She did it and her pee'd on baking soda did NOT fizz... ha ha! So who knows what all this means, the bottom line is we will have a boy or a girl :)

 Sophia was sooo super excited to play on her new swing set, courtesy of Manu :) We have been outside playing on this thing as much as possible and I have a feeling we will continue doing so for along time. :) Which is quite alright! That's the point!

 Big sister is practicing her "swinging" with a stuffed animal. We received a bunch of baby "stuff'" from Aunt Niki, so we have been testing it out :)

Another item of interest, our big girl Sophia is now a dancer! She is going to dance class once a week at school and we will register her for the dance studio in Madison the first week of May:) She really loves to dance and we will see if this is something that she sticks with. Should be FUN! ;-)

Last but DEFINITELY not least! Sophia removed a band aid on HER leg for the first time and she did not cry!!! I'm so proud of my baby girl!! She had a boo boo on her leg which of course, required a band aid ( doesn't everything require a band aid?) Well on Monday night she decided that she didn't need this band aim (her words) anymore and she was going to remove it herself! I said, "ok!" Then low and behold.... WAH LAH!!! She did it!! :)

Big stuff happening around the Dempsey household, daddy is now working for lowes and he is loving it! :)

Ok, I'm tired and I well.... I think this is enough for this month's post:) Happy Reading!
