Funny Face

I love this face! And thanks to my cousin Emma, we have captured it on camera. Not sure how Mati stumbled upon the look, but its her favorite face to make these days.

So long, only child

Mati is going to have a little brother! The ultrasound pictures are in, and its definitely a little man we are looking at.
I am sure that he will be thoroughly embarrassed one day, when he realizes that we have exposed him to all of the internet! And we will remind him that on that day, he was not the least bit shy about it. In fact, its about the only good picture we got from the ultrasound. Most of them are blurry. The tech had a difficult time getting any good images of his face or profile because he kept wanting to show off the other end. Here is the best profile shot we have.

And, so Mati doesnt feel left out, a look back at her, too...
Mati was definitely smaller when we had the ultrasound taken of her at 18 weeks. Blake thinks that is a good sign. Hopefully the little guy will have some of the size that Mati never got.

Blake has attempted to explain that there is a baby in mommy's tummy, but Mati always runs for her dolls as soon as she hears the word. I guess it is a plus that she knows what a baby is, at least. Hopefully the transition wont be too difficult for her, since she is still so young. I assume that a few days after baby boy arrives on the scene, she will forget that there ever was life before him.

We are still working on boy names. This is turning out to be much more difficult than girl names ever were. We actually had a girl name picked out for this baby, but as he showed us earlier, he is all man! Any suggestions? (Seeing as we named out daughter Matilda, the top 20 most common names probably wont make the cut.)
