The Tables Turn

We're excited to share with you all that our newest addition is a little girl, healthy and content as far as ultrasound can reveal. We are incredibly grateful. Jason is already wondering how the female majority is going to change the home. :-) And Nathan is content to have sisters, it's all he knows.

I asked him today what he thought we should name his new baby sister and he said "Theodore." Right. He has a bear (compliments of Granddaddy and Mia - my folks) named Theodore James Berrytales that tells him stories. That's where he got the name. Though we're still undecided on a name as well, Theodore was not on the list.

Nathan is full of questions these days. When we went to the doctor last week, he asked if the baby was going to come out now. No, not yet (we hope). Well, he said, can we bring home the baby that we get to listen to? I had told him we were going to listen to the baby at the doctor's. He thought we should just bring that baby home.

He also asked a couple weeks ago if we were going to have a brown baby. Precious. Isn't it amazing how children view the world through such different eyes? I told him that maybe someday we'll have a brown baby, but not one that comes out of mom's "tummy".

The only other tidbit to share at the moment is that we're praying the little one decides to rotate to the head down orientation since at the moment she is breech. Still early at 31 weeks, plenty of time, but definitely not desirous of a c-section right before the international move.

Yes, I'm really pregnant even though - no, we don't have any good belly pictures. I realized just recently it's time to start taking pictures and now our camera is officially broken. Until that is rectified, here's the best we have.
