While the house has preoccupied a lot of our attention and blog posts of late, there has been a lot else going as well.

Although it was more than a month ago now, we had our 20 week ultrasound and confirmed that everything was looking good and that there was only one baby in there. :) One interesting turn of events is that they felt that our dates were wrong as the baby measured consistently large at around 21w 3d instead of the expected 19w 6d. So, our new due date is now around August 29th and we’re now 27 weeks along.

Natalie has had a great time in preschool this year. She is really growing up and is a very helpful and independent girl. We’re looking forward to getting her involved in some programs and camps in our new area this summer. Natalie is very excited about the pregnancy and has even felt the baby kick. She is already a great big sister and we’re sure she’s going to be great with the new one.

Jasmine’s vocabulary is growing in leaps and bounds and she speaks in full sentences all the time now. It’s great that she can express herself so well. She really loves to sing as well and sings along with all the music in the car and at home. She has a great sense of humour and is constantly giggling about one thing our another. She is also a very independent girl and just as stubborn as the rest of us.

This weekend Jasmine moved out of her crib and into a big girl bed… at her request! In our new house we bought new beds for both girls, but we continued to put Jasmine in her crib despite there also being a bed in her room. Today, we put her down for a nap in her crib today as usual, but she didn’t seem to be settling so Christina went to check on her. She found that Jasmine had climbed out her crib and was trying to get in her bed without success. Since we’d been planning on switching her over soon, Christina took advantage of the opportunity and let her nap in the bed. Satisfied, Jasmine promptly said good night to Christina and went to sleep. Wow! Hopefully it continues to go that well.
