We're very excited for the arrival of baby #3 this coming summer!
This almost 2 cm long baby has a lot of growing and developing to do before his big arrival, but already he's loved by his family. Paul and Ben both insist on kissing my belly each night as their way of saying goodnight to the baby and he has made it into both boys' prayers. Paul even asks me to open my mouth so that he can talk into it so that the baby can hear him (the mouth is the most direct route to the stomach, right?).
Paul insists that this baby is a boy and has named him Sis Paul Clements. So instead of referring to this baby as he, she, or it, we all affectionately refer to the baby as Sis (though I'm positive we'll go another route with the official name).
I had an early ultrasound yesterday to get an official due date for Sis. It was incredible to see how developed this tiny baby is already. I could see the heart beat, the spine, and I even saw Sis move once. It was a new experience for me and helped the reality of this pregnancy set in (although my face is breaking out like a teenager's, I'm experiencing mild morning sickness, and am extremely tired, so I do have daily reminders that I am pregnant).
Here is a picture of Sis, measuring just under 2 cm long. (head is to the left)
Can't wait to meet you Sis!
