It's a zoo around here!

Yet another zoo trip

Last week Piper and I travelled to Knoxville to spend some time with our friends the Brownlees. We always have such a good time there playing with baby Cameron (who's not so much of a baby anymore!) and Kayleigh. Our second day there, Anna and I took a girls's trip to the zoo. I've been to the Knoxville Zoo before, but I had forgotten that it has so many great animals and exhibits. I honestly think it is better than our zoo in Nashville. The animals were more interactive, and the girls really enjoyed them!

So cute!

Zoo-d out!

The first of many comparisons

The picture on the bottom is Piper's first ultrasound at 20 weeks, and the top is Brother at 19 weeks. Their noses look the same to me, but I think they'll have different mouths. I can't wait to see them together in person!

Don't let that pink dress and sparkling white bow fool you...

Introducing.....

BABY BROTHER!!!

definitely a boy

"Hi, mom!"

And of course I've already been shopping!

Brother measures exactly as he should for his gestational age and weighs about 10 ounces right now. The ultrasound technician told us that everything looks good, but we'll get a full report from my OB at my next appointment.

I don't think I've mentioned on here that I've been feeling his movements for over two weeks now. However, during the ultrasound he was curled up into a little ball, nestled up against the side of my uterus. And he didn't really want to be disturbed, either.

It's so strange to be writing about a boy!
