Sweet Baby Face, Minivan, Baby Gear, and School Poster

Day 93: On Friday I was thrown for another loop when my doctor called to tell me that my blood results were in and that I indeed do have the same virus my son had (Parvovirus B19, or 5th Disease). No wonder I haven't been feeling well! The virus is fairly benign for kids (and adults), but can be dangerous to the fetus. It's unlikely, but the fetus could develop anemia, in which case they would deliver me early. So from now until the baby is born, I need weekly ultrasounds to carefully monitor the baby. I'm including the ultrasound of the sweet face of my baby that was done a week ago. I love this picture so much and can't wait to meet this adorable little person!


Day 94: I finally took some photos of our new minivan that we purchased Monday evening.


Day 95: On Sunday evening we picked up the baby gear from my friend that I had given her for her baby over a year ago. I honestly never expected to see it all again, but she was kind enough to give it back to me since we have this little surprise baby making an appearance soon! Thanks, Julie!


Day 96: Julian is "Star of the Week" this week in his kindergarten class. (Each child has a turn.) We had to make a poster with certain pictures and he presented it to his class today. The class and teacher asked him questions in French and he had to answer them and talk about his poster in French. Great practice! (For those who don't know, he attends a French Immersion school.)

I can't wait to hear the baby news! By the way, your van is a twin of ours (except yours is much cleaner), the best purchase we have made as of yet! You will love it.
