Well the Calon household has been very busy of late. Running to and from school, dance, ultrasounds, you name it we've been there a couple times in a week! Alex has a very established early week schedule and she depends on that schedule. If anything disrupts it she knows and is not happy. She had to miss school last Monday for Thanksgiving and the only reason she wasn't kicking and screaming was because she got to spend the day with her Grandma Linda, Auntie Robyn, Uncle Nolan and her favorite cousins Connor and Charlie!
It was a wonderful day and Auntie (Me) got to hold Charlie for quite a long time. At one point Robyn was trying to make sure I wasn't bothered by holding him and offered to take him from me. She got a very dirty look and promptly sat down lol. Charlie is such a sweet little guy and it made me very impatient for February!
Alex and Connor hit another sort of milestone that day. Playing like "BIG" people. Normally they would play with toys side by side and there would be the very seldom fight over a certain toy, usually the toy shopping cart. But this time they played together climbing, jumping, screaming, pretending. It was such a wonder to watch.
Last Sunday, the 18th, we went up to Edmonton for our 3D ultrasound at UC Baby. Although we didn't get the best pictures of Joseph's face we did get picture evidence of the boy factor. We got a very nice clear shot of his feet, his one hand and his "privates". Pat was laughing at me as I posted the picture on facebook. He thought it was a little silly to post pictures of our son's privates on the very public Internet. But I was very proud of those little privates! When we first got into the room the technician said she would look at the face first, then do the heart beat, the confirm the gender. But the instant she put the paddle to my stomach she giggled "Oh yep its a boy!" She then showed us the 2D and 3D image of said area. Martine, who came with us (Linda was too sick to come), couldn't for the life of her see what the technician was talking about. She was still skeptical until we showed her the very good picture of it. "OHHH!! Yep that's a boy!" She exclaimed.
Since we could only get one semi-clear shot of his handsome face we have to go back in a month for another try at it. But from what we did see he looks just like Ally. He too has Pats nose and mouth, and from the looks of it his feet too. I'm pretty sure in 15 years I'm going to dwarfed by all these very tall, blond hair, big footed people, with only Alex and Joey's brown eye's to even claim that they are indeed mine. I'm sure people will think the 3 of them adopted me!
I know I said Joey's brown eyes, true we don't know what they will be. There is a 50% chance of him having brown eye's just like Alex. A 25% for Blue and a 25% for green. But giving the very strong brown eyed tendencies on my side and the very strong blond tendencies on Pats, we're pretty sure we'll end up with another Alex lol.
As soon as I can figure out how to post the ultrasound pictures I will do so. They have to be scanned at a very high resolution and the web-page won't support them. And another picture of my expanding tummy is on the way as well ;)
Happy Fall Everyone!
Pat, Danielle, Alexandria & "Joseph"
