Ultrasound Update

Well, I was wrong!!  :-) I won't make you scroll through all these ultrasound pics to share that we are having a GIRL! Wow, was I surprised...in a good way! The technician was pretty confident (more than when we had our US with Brynn) and said she would be very surprised if it came out a boy. 

It was a great appointment and so fun to see what she is up to in there. She was moving and kicking around a lot and got the hiccups. Everything looks perfect, so that was great to hear as well. It was so amazing to see her heart beating; it seems so much more real now. 

Brynn was a very excited big sister when she found she was getting a sister. 

Now we just can't wait to hold her, of course.






Her legs are not actually as short as they look here; they're just kind of folded up, I guess.

Oh yeah, and today was also St. Patrick's Day! I wasn't really planning on doing anything at home as far as leprechaun shenanigans, but I had a chance to slip some food coloring into Brynn's milk before supper. She was already all in a tizzy from the antics he was up to at her school. She wasn't too happy to see what had become of her milk. She tried it, but didn't want to drink the rest of it. Ha. We had to check every room for any other signs of the leprechaun. You know Brynn, once she gets onto something, that's all she talks/thinks about. As you can see from her expressions in the pics, she was concerned. :-)

That is so exciting! From your comparison of pregnancies with Brynn, I thought it would be a boy too. Can't wait to meet her.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

Back to School 2024

Brynn had very minimal school supplies that she needed, of course, so she took care of hers on her own and just Clara and I tackled the fourth grade list. How Brynn and Hubert were preparing for school starting. Haha. They made the yearbook! Clara was excited that she will have her first grade teacher again for fourth grade. Back-to-school night was on Monday. She got to see who else was going to be in her class and put away her supplies, etc. Today was the official first day! Brynn came home over her lunch break and things seemed to be going pretty well at that point, and then she only had one more class before she was done for the day. She has last period off again this year, so she was glad for that. She plans to continue working at her part-time job throughout the school year. Clara reported a great first day! Her teacher shared some photos. We did have time during and after dinner to chat about the day more and Brynn said her goal for this school year - aside from the obvious of d...
