I guess the Radiologist's 80-90% girl prediction was accurate, because BORG day #2 brought another look, with the conculsion of baby girl Calhoun! We are very excited. We would be happy either way, of course. But excited that our daughter will grow up with her female cousin just a couple of months apart. Not to mention the twin Fraser gals who will be making an appearance any day now! Hopefully they won't all fall in love with Tasha's son (due just a couple of weeks before our little gal) and fighting over who gets to marry him. Hardy har!

I am DEFINITELY nesting. All I want to be spending my time on is getting the house and nursery ready. We have plenty of time to get it all together, and really need to wait as we can only purchase so much at a time. And with baby showers coming up soon, we still don't know what needs we will have. But in the mean time, it does feel good to slowly check things off the list!

I've been feeling quite a lot of movement the last few weeks--stronger movements for sure. It's fun, and comforting. I feel it most at night when I lay down to sleep. I also feel quite a bit while sitting at my desk during the day.

We got some really great ultrasound pics last Friday--even the 3d pic turned out pretty good. It can be really hard to get a good shot for many reasons.

I've been finding my emotions over the last week have been more up and down than before--more like they were in the beginning of my pregnancy. It's funny how much I think I might be in control of my body, but SO AM NOT. :)

We had a really nice family baby shower for my sister in Wenatchee last weekend. She is looking so adorable! I can hardly believe she is 32 weeks along! It was a beautiful sunny day--around 80 degrees. Oh how I miss Eastern Washington Summers!

Today marks my 23rd week. It is hard to believe that I am nearly 6 months along! Wowsa!

I am still plugging along with voice lessons right now. So far I'm not uncomfortable at all--in fact in some ways I feel like singing has become easier. Or maybe my new singing habits are just solififying as I get rid of bad habits. I feel much more relaxed in some ways since being pregnant. I'm not sure what it is--maybe it's because I'm much more focused on something much bigger and more important than all the little things that can be so nagging. Not to say that those things don't still exist, but I have been finding that I feel much calmer. Interesting! I know I've said it before, but I just LOVE my voice coach. She is so encouraging, and such a great teacher. I always leave there feeling so uplifted!

Happy 'Hump Day'! We're half way to the weekend!
