What a week

So, we have had a busy week here.  I took two days off for 'booty camp' for Lance and JM took three days off.  It has been an interesting experience and it has been nice to have so much family time.  Lance isn't quite as far along as we were hoping, but the typical regimen was not working for him so we had to make some changes.  Unfortunately, I think the training he received the first three years of his life in the orphanage helped him learn to amuse himself in any situation.  The plan was for him to get sick of being in the kitchen and want to get out so therefore he learns to go to the potty whenever he has the urge.  Instead we had a mild maniac with self stimulating behaviors.  Anyway he is now only having one to two very small accidents all day!  We are proud of him.  We just hope it carries over into regular everyday life.

We are trying not to get our hopes up, but we also had a couple come look at our house for the third or fourth time.  Whoo-hoo.  Maybe we will be able to move a little closer to JM's job to cut down his commute.  I have to say I will miss this house, though.  

Probably the best part of our week was Thursday when John Michael and I were able to see our now 14 week old baby by ultrasound...yes, you read that right, I am pregnant.  :o)  It was so much fun.  I have to be honest, we were both fairly nervous about it, considering our past pregnancy.  But this little baby looked as healthy as can be and was moving all over the place.  (the 1/3 of a Dr. Pepper probably helped that out.  hee hee!)  We will have a level II ultrasound in 4 or so weeks just to make sure that everything is in fact going well.  So, if you haven't noticed already, I have attached two pictures from the ultrasound.  Enjoy! Disclaimer:  I say 'she' but we are not sure the baby is a girl yet.  

Here she had just taken a gulp.  You can see her head on the left with profile, teeth buds, spine down the bottom and the dark spot is her stomach.  Don't worry she has legs, you just can't see them in these pictures.  :o)

She is a little more curled up here with a clearer profile.  Her right arm is up by her head and left arm is up and slightly across her chest.  You can see her eye sockets and teeth buds.
