Charlotte and I just got back from a week long vacation at "Gamma" and "Bumpa's" house on Saturday. We had loads of fun and I should share some good stories, but I'm lazy and I wont. Today though I went and had my first ultrasound of our little peanut. I heard the heartbeat for the first time (170) and there's just something so awesome about that sound. It makes all these flu-like symptoms totally worth it. I loved to see the little heart beating and the little flipper hands and feet. This baby was much less active than Charlotte was. She did flips and turns the whole ultrasound and there was only one little wiggle out of the peanut. Does this mean I might get a laid back child? Not very likely. The peanut is measuring right on for my due date of May 9th. So there you have it.
The ultrasound went so quickly that Charlotte and I had time to drive to the zoo and get to the carousel for the free ride time. The carousel is free for the first hour the zoo is open. We went three times before she decided she wanted to see the penguins, which are still her favorite part of the zoo. We must not have been to the zoo for a while now because this time she magically noticed all the animals and pointed and talked to them. She had to say hi and bye to every animal she saw (even the squirrels). Did I mention that 18 months old is by far my favorite age so far? Because really, it's so much fun.

OOOOHHHHHH Good to know about the free carousel rides! We were just at the zoo on saturday and it is alot of fun! Do you live near the zoo?
We live about 15 minutes from the zoo. It's great.
The child I got that was not nearly as active in-utero is definitely NOT my laid-back, go-with-the-flow child. The one that did flips and rolls in-utero takes things in stride and just lets things roll of her back. Hope your experience is different because I was prepared for a girl with attitude not a boy.
We loved seeing you and Charlie on Sunday--so much fun!
Are you going to find out what sex it is?
Yes. I can't wait for something like that. I need to plan.
