Oh Brother!

Gwen is going to have a little brother, due September 20th.

School!

Gwen is in love with her "school"- we have been doing GymKids at the Sunnyvale/Cupertino Audlt Education Center Since the Fall (right before she could walk. Since she mastered the gym, we started "preschool" (1.5 hours one day a week with parent). These pictures are from the Book Fair they had this evening. She showed off to Daddy all the toys and climbing equipment, and made a new friend who gave her a ride on his tricycle (super cute!).

Silly Gwen-Gwen

Gwen and I have been having a lot of fun together lately. Me napping with her during the has made me a much happier Mama and that has helped. We started our "preschool" class which is super cute- an hour and a half of the preschool experience for toddler and parent. We also started up our Music class again which was on a long two week break, and Gwen was so excited to see her Music teacher and sing/dance. These are some fun pictures from the last few weeks. Gwen wanted to go on a walk one morning with her bay (complete with sunglasses and pacifier- she rarely uses her pacifier). And then at our friend's house lining up the rubber ducks on the hot tub and then discovering she can see in the kitchen window. Silly Gwen-Gwen!

It's a Boy!

Happy April Fools! Just kidding, our ultrasound is scheduled for April 22nd and we will find out the sex of the baby then.
A few people were asking how I have been doing. Much better now that I am into my 2nd trimester. Though I am having serious lower back pain. Friday it came to the point that it hurt to walk and hurt to sit. I saw a chiropractor Monday and I have a pinched nerve on my S1. I feel much better now but still can feel where my back is out and need to make sure I don't over due it. I am going to see the chiro until I feel 100% since I don't want any extra complications during labor (goal is natural childbirth again). And I felt the baby move for the first time last night! Today is Gwen's 1/2 birthday and we are going to have a special dessert (strawberry shortcake) in honor of her, since we may not end up doing much for her actual birthday (depending on when her sibling arrives). Happy half birthday Gwen!
