Calling it official

Well, over the last few weeks I've felt a few little flutters and movements that I thought could be baby.  Unfortunately I wasn't sure.  Today baby decided to give me some good strong kicks over the course of the day so I am official calling it!  I'm finally feeling baby boy!

It's a BOY!

Well today was our 20 weeks doctor appointment.  Daddy met me at the doctor for our "anatomy" ultrasound.  We found out that the baby is a BOY!  Once again the baby posed quite nicely for us!  We also found out that I do not have placenta previa (I had this with Dillon and ended up needing a c-section due to it) which means I shouldn't have to have another c-section!  Hurray!

After the doctor appointment we headed to Grandma Peggy's to tell the kids.  The agreement was blue balloons if it was a boy, green balloons if it was a girl (Kayda insisted upon this). 

 Kayda wasn't too excited at first, she had been hoping for a little girl but within a few minutes she was ready to be a big sister for two little brothers.  Dillon was very excited right away because he wanted a little brother! 

Here is a picture of baby's profile.  It is a picture of the ultrasound picture so it's a little blurrier and such but there he is!

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

Today was the first of many trips to the zoo!  We woke up, it was sunny outside so we decided to bundle up and go.  It actually turned out to be fairly warm and we even spent some time coat-less.  The kids had a great time!  Dillon wasn't too interested in going at first but by the time it was time to go it was love.  He kept saying "I want to go back to the zoo". 

We've never seen this area before.  You could touch the different animals, Dillon wasn't willing to put his fingers in the water but once Kayda got started she was willing to touch almost any of them!

Once we got to the polar bears Kayda kept saying "Polar bears, check" and "Red wolves, check".  She was having a great time!  Dillon thought the otters were cool, he kept wanting them to go underwater, and that developed into wanting to go in the water WITH them.

This was the first time we've gone that the kids have really wanted to play in the play area.  So at the end they spent about 15 minutes playing on everything.
