Here are the scans from Monday’s ultrasound.
The face, front on; top of head is to the left, sort of tilted down. You can make out the eye sockets.
this is a foot
Side view of the head & torso. You can see the profile of the face, plus the white dotted line is the spine or ribs and then dark circle in the middle (towards the top of the torso) is the heart!
more feet.
Mallory was running around the house with the phone tonight. Here is what I heard (keep in mind she has no idea how to actually call anyone):
Hi Emy! How you? Good. Olone play, Emy?

Ah-lo, Emy? Is Shane, Emy? Good? Olone play? Emy?

Ah-lo Gaga!! Sit, daddy, me, baby.

Hi Nina & Papa!

And here are the funny pictures of the day:
Hard to believe it was time already, but we had our “big” ultrasound yesterday.
My favorite doctor, Dr B, actually did my ultrasound. Because she is doing a fellowship, she isn’t supposed to be actually seeing patients but it seems as though she is keeping up with me from behind the scenes and is looking out for me, which makes me happy!
Anyway, on to important stuff – the baby was SUPER active and according to the doctor, has BEAUTIFUL scapulas. I don’t remember our big scan with Mallory being this thorough so it was sort of interesting to see all the …
Here is a pictorial review of our Monday.
First, Mallory’s hair is finally long enough for real pigtails.
Second, here she is trying on some hand-me-downs tonight after work. Notice the jelly sandals and cool vest.
Thirdly, here she is giving Cooper a hug & a kiss.
Oh, and remember how I wrote the other day that I think he’s still getting into stuff, but now he is rummaging at night (as witnessed by the Mallory socks that just happened to move from the couch to the floor overnight on Friday)? I swear I know this dog like the back …
Mallory seems to be more a fan of cloudy days than sunny days. Whenever we are in the car and the sun is beating on her, she covers her face with her hands and says “HOT, Mommy!”.
It makes me giggle.
Oh, we used to have a shade on that window but then she broke it and I haven’t replaced it yet.
1. I freaking LOVE hand-me-downs. Check out the size 7/8 Imelda Marcos shoe collection we inherited this morning for Mallory. I just hope her feet don’t grow too much by next spring so she can wear some of those fun sandals.
2. Mallory insists she “no want to” play hockey whenever Rick asks her, but you wouldn’t know it by seeing her get into her bed. (Editors note: this was just before she fell asleep for a nap that is now entering its second hour so she was obviously lying to me when she said she wasn’t ready to go to …
For the first time in about two months, Rick was going to pick Mallory up from daycare yesterday so I could have an afternoon to myself. Remember back in July, when we last tried this plan? I should have learned my lesson then (click here for the story).
I had plans to go get my hair cut & colored & made pretty but first I had to swing by the house to let the dog out. I had about five minutes to make this stop if I wanted to make it to my hair appointment on time.
I stepped up to the …
My little girl has been FUNNY the past couple of days.
First, here are some more of her new phrases:
Me too!
My turn
Want some? – this is said as she walks through the house with a bowl and a spoon, pretending like she is whipping up something tasty, and then she offers it to us with a sweet “want dom, mommy? want dom daddy?” Tonight she took it up a notch and asked me if Cooper wanted some, so she fed some to Cooper. And then she turned to the TV and tried to feed the people on TV.
Not a phrase but …
Here are the 16+ week belly pictures. In my 12w pictures I was wearing a non-maternity top, so that is why my belly is showing. But now I am exclusively in maternity clothes, with the exception of my baggy t-shirts & sweats. The bump is growing!
Mallory likes to do little arts & craft projects with me and seeing as how I am about a year behind on my scrapbooking, I am encouraging her craftiness and give her all sorts of paper and old stickers to try to keep her occupied. One of my rules is “only on paper” with the crayons and stickers. She does pretty well with this rule for the most part but then dad was around and the rule went out the window. Look what he taught her to do with her stickers:
