Cooper's Sleepover

On Friday afternoon, Jason and Alannah went to Grandma and Grandpa Wing's house to pick up Cooper for his turn spending time with us. We took Cooper shopping, and after about the second store, he fell asleep with Jason holding him. We continued our shopping quest for new sheets, in an attempt to kill time before Alannah had to go to a work meeting. Cooper and Jason dropped Alannah off and went to run some errands for Uncle Jason. After stopping at McDonald's for a Chicken nugget meal for Cooper, we returned to pick up Aunt Alannah from work. We went home and watched Peter Pan while we ate dinner. Cooper also enjoyed watching the ultrasound of his new baby cousin. After reading a few books, it was straight to bed.

Saturday morning began with Capn Crunch for breakfast and Spongebob Squarepants on the TV. We all got ready for the day and we were off again to do some shopping for maternity clothes for Alannah. After little success we went to Walmart to meet Tristy and get Jason and Cooper haircuts. Cooper was hesitant at first, but after a bribe of a new motorcycle was made, was well behaved through his entire haircut. He is such a handsome boy. Afterwards, we did a little grocery shopping, and Tristy took him to drop him off at his dad's.

Alannah is still growing, which is a growing concern with our upcoming trip to Wisconsin in March. Fortunately it is starting to warm up here in Utah, so Alannah is wearing some of her lighter clothes that still fit. Unfortunately when we visit Echo, Kenny and Nolan, Wisconsin will still be cold. Thus the reason for our frantic search for winter maternity clothes, before they all disappear with the upcoming season change. We have been finding lots of winter clothes on clearance sales which is nice since it is hard to justify buying maternity clothes for a season Alannah is done with.

We are currently in our Eighteenth week of our pregnancy and are beginning to become increasingly impatient with anonymity of our baby's gender. We have a Doctors Appointment tomorrow, unfortunately not to find out the gender. But, having already worn out our patience, we are going to try to convince the doctor to perform an ultrasound and take a peek. So, get your votes in while you can, because if we have our way tomorrow, we will know by the end of the afternoon. It would be nice to start calling the baby by name, so the kids can quit referring to Alannah's belly as "Baby Cousin." Cooper has made it a habit of lifting up Alannah's shirt and kissing her belly and saying "Wuv you baby tousin," then pulling her shirt back down and going about his business.

Well once again, thanks to all of you for continuing to tune in occasionally, and leave your comments. Hopefully the next post will be the announcement of our baby's gender. Love you all, and take care.
