Kara is super excited to be a big sister, although she is CERTAIN she will be having a baby brother, and won't take any other answer. I had toyed with the idea of actually finding out the baby's sex at my next ultrasound (This Thursday, I can't wait!) so I could start preparing her if baby is actually a sister. Then I realized that it isn't going to matter, because she will not believe that baby isn't a brother until she can physically see it herself. So we will be going with the original plan of not finding out. I figure what will actually happen is we will have an exhibitionist baby that let's know even though we don't want to!
She is also become super-observant. The other morning I had changed from work clothes into shorts and a T-shirt. She noticed immediately that the shirt I had on wasn't mine, and said "Mommy, why you wearing Daddy's shirt?" I told her that the baby had made my belly big enough that I couldn't wear my own shirts anymore. She then wanted to know "After my baby brother gets here, will you be able to wear your own shirts again?" I told her I certainly hoped so!
And I guess I was lying when I said I had no pictures this time, I just didn't take them with my camera is all. Last week Kara spent the night with Grandma and Papa so Mommy and Daddy could celebrate their anniversary and Daddy's birthday (we had dinner and grownup movie = heaven!) The next day I went over to sleep before work, and she decided to wear this getup to pickup pizza for supper. Don't blame me, I wanted to change her, but Uncle Matt said it would be fine, and he was the one taking her.
She uses this vest as part of her 'dragonslayer' getup, complete with nerf sword. She usually makes Matt be the dragon!
