ULTRASOUND

Today Chris and I went in for my ultrasound appt and after waiting for our baby to uncurl we found out that we are having a girl.  We are both really, really excited!  I think it will be so wonderful to have both a boy and a girl.  We've been telling Alexander about it and he hasn't said much (obviously), but he did kiss my belly tonight unprompted.  He's such a sweetie and is going to be such a wonderful big brother! 

Well, tomorrow will mark 1 week spent in TLF and even though it is not ideal, it is working.  Alexander has been sleeping like a champ (1 foot away from our bed) and even taking pretty good naps.  He is adjusting to this strange living situation really well.  He is such a trooper.  It's amazing!  We've had to take him to a mother's day out twice since we've been here while we house hunt and he does well for most of the time, but it sounds like he kind of loses it towards the end.  I think 3 hours is kind of his limit right now (the most he has stayed was right under 4).  But up til then they said he played a lot and seemed to have fun.  Today we took him to a friend's house while we went to our appt and he had a great time.  When I walked into the backyard to pick him up he just sort of smiled and kept playing.  He's getting better at being away from me for short periods of time, which is really good. 

We're making progress in the house hunt.  I'll post more when we know more...
