We found out what we're having!

A baby! Hooray!

Oh, you wanted gender?

Yes, well, I thought so.

A wonderful little girl! Hooray! She's quite the character, too. She enjoyed turning and showing off while the tech was attempting to get the shots of the heart, cerebellum, spine, etc. She also enjoyed sticking a toe in her eye.

She looks healthy and like she's doing well from what the ultrasound shows. Hooray!

Broken Wing

Wendi broke her arm.

Does this sound like an old post? It sounds like one from four years ago, you say?

That's because Wendi did it again. Left arm again. Both the radius and the ulna. Again.

This time, however, it involved riding a bicycle with no training wheels. Yes, she did AWESOME at it. About four long passes in front of our house without being held up. Then, the crash. I've got it on video. I wish I didn't. No, I will not be posting it, you sick-o.

Here is my Wendi Bird's "broken wing" picture. No, she would not let me brush her hair. I figure that having just had your bones set with just a little morphine at this age is enough trauma. I didn't need to rip her hair out, too.



She's tougher than she thinks and has adjusted to life with a cast. We're hoping that it comes off before she starts kindergarten (August 20). We have our first follow-up appointment on Friday to see how it's coming along.

Additionally, I have to say that she is the most gracious five-year-old I've ever met! She has been so sweet and kind about asking for and appreciating help with everyday tasks she is used to doing herself. She isn't bitter, but rather... very gracious (for lack of a proper synonym).

She's doing very well! Hopefully she'll not be like her Aunt Nat go for the #3.

See It For Yourself

Wow. I guess I'm slow in not realizing stuff like this exists. Ew.
