GIRL!!!
Well, I was wrong and I am completely okay with that. Kamdyn and Richard were really excited because both wanted a girl. Kamdyn proclaimed in the ultrasound room, "I told you it was a girl, Mama!" She was jumping up and down! Fortunately, we have most everything that we will need for a girl except LOTS of DIAPERS!!! I will be at home tonight getting the crib ready with the bedding that we used for Kamdyn's crib. Now it's time to think of a name!! It will most definitely be a "K" name because I have all of those "K" clothes!
I will post some ultrasound pictures after I get home and scan them.
YAY!!! It's another sweet girl!!
Tomorrow we have "the big" ultrasound to determine if our sweet second baby will be a boy or a girl! I am so ready to know! I am such a planner and my Type A personality has been in overdrive here lately. We were supposed to find out today, but Richard could not get his work schedule to fit so we rescheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:20. I am on pins and needles and probably will not sleep a wink tonight. I will be blessed to have either a boy or girl, but I kind of have a feeling that it is a boy. Kamdyn and I browsed Buy Buy Baby this afternoon. Although the girly pink stuff definitely catches my eye the most, I could happily get used to some blues and greens. I couldn't get Kamdyn to even glance at the boy stuff. She was all about the pink girly stuff!
Be sure to check your texts, facebook, and our blog tomorrow for the BIG update!
Until then, what are your predictions?
Will Baby Terry be a Boy or Girl?
Kamdyn has been reading for about 2 1/2 months now, but I haven't gotten it on video until today. We actually had some time with the snow day. At first I was still a little hesitant to label her an actual "reader" because I still thought she had her books memorized. But, I am convinced now that she is actually reading the words. We started on sight words over a year ago. She learned about 12 and then just took off on her own recognizing words here and there. She is now sounding words out on her own and has started figuring out irregular rules such as the silent e on the end of words, silent beginning sounds such as the k in knife, and the ph that makes the /f/ sound as in phone. When she comes to one of those words she will say, "There's one of those crazy words." I am amazed at how quickly she has caught on. I have taught children her age for ten years now and I have never seen a child pick up reading as quickly as she has. I am proud, but it's not anything we've really done. She was determined to learn! Most days she can be found with a book instead of any toy that we have in our house. She is a bookworm and we are very proud of her!
Here she is reading one of her easier books. She chose to read this one for the camera. I am amazed at her intonation while she reads. She doesn't really sound like a robot like some children do when they first learn to read.
Kamdyn was so excited about the snow this morning when she woke up! She and her Daddy headed out to play around 9:00 this morning. I bundled her up like a snow bunny because once she gets out there she doesn't like to come back in for a LONG time! I chose to sit the first round out!
My snow bunny!
Checking out the snow.
Daddy and Kamdyn took a walk down to our dock.
Getting ready for round two with Mommy this time!
Watching Daddy sled.
Loving on Daddy!
NOT THE TWIRLY WHIRLY DADDY!!
Trudging back up the hill with her sled.
Mommy wanted to take a ride on the sled, but Daddy wouldn't let me. I guess when you are 20 weeks pregnant sledding is out of the question. :(
She was so funny on this sled!
I laughed so hard at her! I love this one!
Her green snow suit was soaked on the outside. 
Thankfully, she was dry as could be under those layers except those sweet cheeks were FROZEN!
Wait on me, DADDY!
We enjoyed hot chocolate and yummy snowman cookies on our snow day! 
As soon as we took the Christmas decorations down the day after Christmas, I was ready to get started on making room for Baby #2 in our house. I know that it seems a little early, but while we both had time off from work and while I was feeling energetic, I wanted to tackle as much as possible.
First we moved Kamdyn's playroom shelves into her bedroom. Originally, I wanted to buy Kamdyn all new white furniture. She was against this and I didn't want to push my luck with this new baby stuff. So, I left well enough alone and tried not to upset her apple cart too much! She was very cooperative while we dissolved her old playroom.
We moved the rest of her playroom stuff upstairs to the Bonus Room. This turned out to be the perfect spot and just enough room for everything. The best part is that we still have space for our office and other TV room.
Lastly, we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful neighbor willing to let us use this beautiful cherry baby furniture for our nursery. It had been in Bart's garage for a while. He wantedmore space and we needed furniture. It worked out for all of us. I got busy dusting, disinfecting, and polishing the furniture so it would be ready for entry into our house. Richard and Bart brought it upstairs today! I am so pleased with it! Now all I need is a new glider rocker! (Right, Richard?)
The changing table and crib. Notice the boy green on the changing pad and the girly pink on the lamp. Which will it be?
I love this armoire!
Kamdyn wanted some time in the crib.
She asked if she could take her nap in there, but changed her mind!
We are ready for you Baby Terry!
