Amaryllis

So just in case you were wondering why this blog hardly ever gets updated anymore...it has nothing to do with Oliver not being cute anymore because he's cuter than ever.  His latest this week is that he says "Boppy" for his belly button as he pulls up his shirt and sometimes insists on raspberries.  As in, puts his hands on my head and pushes it toward his belly while spitting.  He's definitely adorable.

It has far more to do with the fact that I'm tired all the time, growing a little girl inside. 

Yup.  Due date is June 1.  Ultrasound today was 75% sure she is a girl.  She kept her legs tight together most of the time (and the lady setting my next appointment said "You better hope she stays that way!") so it was hard to be sure, but the doctor said that if the ultrasound technician gave us any gender that she was pretty sure and there shouldn't be a change at the next ultrasound.  She was being a stubborn little thing and the technician couldn't get all of the pictures she needed, so we'll have another go at the ultrasound in 4 weeks to be more sure on the gender.  Everything they could see looked fine and her estimated weight is 11 oz.

We've decided that since Oliver's fetal name was Winthrop, it only follows that our little girl's name will be Amaryllis while in the womb.  I like that better than Winthrop 2.0 anyway.  We're pretty excited!  Hooray for being able to shop for ruffles and ribbons! 

In other cuteness, Oliver loves it when we sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", and he tries to do the spider movements by putting his index fingers together, and he can also do the "washed the spider out" motion (which also matches his "ahhh gah" aka "all gone" motion).  And we always get applause at the end.  He's the best!  We're excited to see how he likes being a big brother.
