Well we found out this week that we are having a girl! (which is a surprise since at my last ultrasound they said it was a boy) I couldn’t be happier really, I am glad that Abbey will have a little sister and that there will be one more little Shwin in the world. 🙂 After we found out we purchased girl items and wrapped them up for the kids to open so they would know what we were having. Abbey was excited! Jude was sick so he didn’t care.
My parents are now both in town which is the worlds greatest timing but it is so nice to have their help in my current state. We took them out to a ball game at the local minor league team, beautiful night beautiful stadium, and great seats. (even though they totally lost)
Jude started off the week sick, then he got worse and worse until we landed in the ER late one night. What we feared to be appendicitis, was thankfully just a horrible virus infection. They were able to get fluids in the poor kid, and some morphine for his pain and he is already doing better now, hopefully back to 100% soon.
I conquered a sewing fear this week. It was silly really but I had never shirred before. However I tried it, I love it, and I will be doing more of it, it is so easy. (more on that project tomorrow)
This week could have been conquering fear week, Jude got over his fear of Dr.s and IV’s, I got over my fear of shirring, and well Abbey got over the fear of swimming solo. I took the fish and met up with some family that came in town for a wedding this weekend and we went swimming at the hotel. Abbey decided she was ready for the vest and free swimming. She did great keeping herself above water, she was sad when it was time to leave, not that I blame her fish belong in the water.

So many people that I know and don't know are having babies. How wonderful! There will be tons of baby stuff in and around blogland and my kids are too big to enjoy it. I guess the daycare center will be the happy recipients of sewing whims.<br />-Jackie

Congrats on your little girl! All babies appear to be male until about 16-20 weeks…the bits below the belt look almost identical and very peebug like! LOL

Hi there, I hope you don't mind me leaving a comment but I just had to say that you might want to reconsider the photo with the ID bracelet. Is that a social security number on there? Even if it isn't having a full name, birthdate…it's a lot of personal info that can be misused. You'd be horrified to know how many kid's have their identities stolen and credit ruined before

Congratulations on the girl!! I'd love to send you some handmade girly goodness if you don't mind? I'm glad your little man is better, I've never had to have Vince stay in hospital before but I think I would freak out :<

Congratulations and I wish you great joy with your next little lady!<br />I must confess that I had the same reaction as Natasha. Please be careful to not share too much info about your children.

Thanks! I totally understand the concern with sharing too much information. That however is not his full name (it has been cut off) and it is not his social security number simply the id number from the hospital, for tracking the medication given to him. The only real info is his birthday, which is not hard to figure out.

How exciting – A little sister for your kids! My big question is… will you be turning to your fave band for baby-name inspiration?
