Glimpse of Baby Girl Ward

Totally lucked out today. I decided to work from the Microsoft Sammamish office (closer to home), and called Siemens (manufacturer of ultrasound equipment) which just so happens to be right next door to Microsoft, and they got me in as a pregnancy model for their 3D/4D equipment. I had called yesterday, but the technician was worried that I might be too far along and if her head is down it is hard to get a good face shot. I found out yesterday during my Drs appointment that her head is down, but she is still facing out, so I gave them a call and they said to come on in! It was soo cool. I did this with Brennan too, but he didn't really cooperate very much, and he was much smaller. Baby Girl has some really good cheeks, and she was pursing her lips a lot too. They also caught a few seconds of video of her hiccuping and "practicing" her breathing.

Super super cool!

Here's a big shocker, I guess she already has a A LOT of hair. That is very odd, as I don't think Brennan had much hair at all. Fingers crossed that it turns out CURLY!

Here's the video - but I had to make the file size so small to fit on the blog I'm not sure you're going to be able to see much......

Our New Hand Washing Song.....

Great Wolf Lodge - October 2010

Sean was watching a show called "Undercover Boss" the other day when Brennan came down from him nap. The show was about the CEO of Great Wolf Resorts. Brennan caught a glimpse of "the big dumper" and became completely and utterly obsessed.

We tried to explain that it cost a lot of money to go there, and so he wanted us to get out his spiderman wallet (spiderman easter egg he has filled with quarters) - he was sure he had enough to go. Of course he only had $3. Sean tried to explain to him that he needed $300 dollars to go - and tried using the chalkboard to illustrate how much money that was. He drew 300 little lines, and circled 3 to represent B's $3. He circled another 10 for us.....and said, "See, you still have a lot more little lines to circle before we can afford to go." So, Brennan grabbed the chalk and said "OK" and started circling little lines. We both broke down laughing.

He had tantrums, he asked if he could go every 5minutes, he asked people at the gym kids club if they would give him money. One time during naptime he started crying and told Sean he was worried "he was going to take the Midnight Train to the Great Wolf Lodge when he was sleeping." (Yes, we listen to a lot of the Glee season finale CD of Journey songs).

Luckily, we did discover a great Microsoft deal going on for $120 a night - which is a steal. So, we went.....and had a great little break. Of course, he's still asking to go......but its not quite so constant
