A Momentous Week

Well, we have had quite the week in the Davies house. Wednesday was our ultrasound for Baby #2. It was a wonderful experience to actually see the baby and know that he or she was doing well and healthy. We are waiting to find out the sex of this baby until the end, but I am suspicious that its a boy. All of our heartbeats with Kate were 160 or higher. All of the heartbeats with #2 have been lower and at the ultrasound it was 138, so who knows. Our doctor is cute and says of the old wives tale, "Its 50% accurate and 100% unreliable." We will see. The good news is the baby is doing well and is VERY VERY VERY active. It was almost comical to see how squiggly this little one was with feet kicking and shoulders jerking everywhere. The doctor had a hard time taking measurements. We were hoping for a more mellow second child, but it doesn't appear the case. It was certainly the highlight of the week.

Some other big news we received on Sunday was that Brian received a call to be the Pastor of Lord of Glory Lutheran Church in Grayslake, IL. The call has certainly made the last week interesting. We are headed there tomorrow to check things out and get a better feel for everything. So after traveling 3,200 miles this summer we are again packing and preparing to drive. Soon, I think, I hope, I will get a little rest.


Kate, on the other hand, is seeing to it that her Dad and I get very little rest. We have realized that having a 1 and a half year old is the best and busiest time of your life. Kate has been too cute for words. She has added a lot of phrases to her repertoire lately. This week has been a language explosion for our little girl and some of my favorites are:


Dar you go Mommy (There you go Mommy)
Cheers Mommy
I Faass (I'm fast)
I See Doggy
I See Kitty etc.
Mi - E Mou (Mickey Mouse)
The stringing together of syllables has been too cute.


We have some cute pics as of late and some adorable video below to enjoy.

We'll update you soon as the next week unfolds.

Pops and I were particularly blown away when Kate realized the fountains were sequential and knew where to run next!!!! What a smart child!!! GREAT pics! We are thinking of you right now as you drive to Grayslake in what may be the next chapter of your lives! Love you! Gammie and Pop Pop

Yay for exciting news!!! So glad the ultrasound went well... it is such a relief, isn't it, to see fingers and toes and everything where it should be. Can't wait to hear how Grayslake turns out!! We are praying for you!

Beth - when you do your videos through Photobucket, does it take AGES to upload? I'm overly frustrated (although I do appreciate your help!). You can shoot me an e-mail if you want: amyking67@gmail.com

Thanks!
