So the cuteness of the week comes in the form of an almost-2-year-old, blond, curly haired, sweet little cutie named Mallory.
I was sitting in the chair at Rick’s work yesterday, and Mallory came over and lifted up my shirt, and pulled down the big over-the-belly panel of my maternity pants to reveal my growing tummy.
She said “Hi baby Arlo!” and proceeded to place her cheek on my belly. Then she stood back and then leaned in and gave my belly button a kiss.

Hi Baby Arlo
So the cuteness of the week comes in the form of an almost-2-year-old, blond, curly haired, sweet little cutie named Mallory.
I was sitting in the chair at Rick’s work yesterday, and Mallory came over and lifted up my shirt, and pulled down the big over-the-belly panel of my maternity pants to reveal my growing tummy.
She said “Hi baby Arlo!” and proceeded to place her cheek on my belly. Then she stood back and then leaned in and gave my belly button a kiss.
After that, she pulled up my elastic waist, and pulled down my shirt, only to repeat the process …
17w3d Ultrasound Pictures
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.
Arlo's BIG Ultrasound
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 …
16w Belly Pics
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!
Mommy makes rules, Daddy breaks them
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:

Boy or Girl?
I have added a new page at the top (Boy or Girl?) for everyone to be able to follow along with my “symptoms”, so I can have some people to co-obsess with me over whether I am having a boy or a girl. I know that this obsession could be easily solved by just finding out right now what we are having but it’s way more fun to annoy my mom & my mother-in-law (and Deetza and Triplet-Jen and many more) by not finding out! There will also be a link to the official Baby Arlo poll on the right …
12w6d
We had our first OB appointment today :-) And we ended up getting a quicky ultrasound! Everything looks great and we have our big ultrasound scheduled for October 20.
She's soooooo ladylike…
So, I just went to check on Mallory and this is how I found her:

Forgot to post that Mallory & I went to see my friend and her 8+ mo old twins. My friend asked Mallory if she wanted to take a baby home with her to get used to having a baby in our house. The whole rest of our visit, Mallory was saying “baby, home?” and we’d ask her which one she wanted to take with us and she’d always point at Jake. And then our whole trip home, she’d ask me “where babies go, mama?”
It’s …
All fixed, and other good news
My stupid car is already fixed and we don’t to have to pay a dime for the repairs (since the problem was “most likely” a result of the work the dealer did on it a month ago).
And the dealership is going to reimburse us the $140 towing charges.
(This should be on the Arlo blog but it’s all part of my good news Tuesday so I’ll share here). And, I got the results of our genetics testing and everything is normal. YEAH!!!!!
