The November 27th Update

Little Claes Too is kicking! Maybe it was the anticipation of Jodie's mom's homemade stuffing... or the thrill of having four cousins around for Thanksgiving. But LCToo started kicking on Thanksgiving day.

Just one more things to be thankful for... the fluttering sensation of a little baby stretching in the belly.

Marlee kisses the baby goodnight every night before going to bed. She's telling everyone she's having a little sister. I don't know where she gets her information... since we don't know the sex of the baby. I think we decided last night that we are not going to find out. We'd been on the fence about it... we thought about finding out... maybe having the doctor write it on a piece of paper and putting into an envelope and openinig it on Christmas... but when you get down to it there's just nothing like not knowing until the moment the child is born.

I promise I'll tell Jodie if it's a boy or a girl quicker this time. I think Marlee was about a minute old before I told Jodie... that whole "miracle of birth thing" made me forget that Jodie didn't know...

On a funny note, this morning the baby was really active.. and Jodie said "I imagine that the baby sees Marlee doing summersaults and is just joining in with big sister."

We go to the doctor this Thursday for a check-up.
