Easter in Arlington

For Easter, Jamie, TJ & Chambers came up to visit from North Carolina, and we all went to Easter dinner, mass, and brunch. Chambers did a good job of showing her cousin and his future parents what they can expect in about 2 years - she is quite the ball of energy! We explored the slides and tunnels on the playground in the sunny 40 degree weather with Mozzie and Opa - my parents. I'm now just over 5 months along. The last picture shows Chambers figuring out where her cousin is - Jamie asked her where the baby in the belly was, and after a few misfires, Chambers reached over and lifted up my shirt to point at my belly :)

Trip to LA & Tahoe

Singy had his first trip out west - we went to LA to see David & Marlene, who are pretty excited to be grandparents again soon. We got a couple of new outfits for him, went to the Pacific Palisades farmers market, drove to Santa Barbara to see the sights, and relaxed on the front balcony overlooking the Santa Monica Pier. It was great to see family and be in the sunshine while DC was getting more snow:) And even though we were in LA, I failed to make the tabloids in the "Bump Watch" section. Sorry, Ravi - I tried!

Our next stop was skiing and spa'ing in Lake Tahoe with our friends from UVa and spouses. This is becoming an annual trip, and we were happy to take part. Chris' wife Keli is also 5 months pregnant with a boy, so I was glad to have her company, and it was fun catching up with everyone since we're all scattered across the US. Steph & Lance, we missed you, and thanks to Chris & Keli for the great house and entertainment!

I'm officially outnumbered...It's a boy!

We had our 18 week ultrasound today, and everything went great. We got to see the heart valves, kidneys, eye corneas, fingers and toes - all major organs looked good. And we found out that it's a boy! We're not deciding / telling the name until he is born, but we did manage to go straight to Babies R Us and buy him - what else - his first jersey. Kevin's family has a lot of girls, and this is the first grandson for Jennie's family, so it will be a nice balance. Welcome, MR. Singy!
