Little Cubbers

Last week, Caleb, Jon, my mom, and I got to go to an ultrasound place to see Baby Capron #3 (who Caleb has affectionately named "Cub"). I was only 11 weeks pregnant, and little Cub was about 1 1/2 inches long. It was amazing to see the development of this little being and to imagine all of the intricate details present in so small a baby. My favorite part was seeing that he/she already has a full bladder. I guess that I already have the mothering spirit for this baby.... only a mom could be so proud of her baby for having urine in its bladder! The ultrasound tech thought that there may be signs of the baby being a boy but wouldn't call it this early. Caleb is quite convinced that Cub is a boy, but we will have to wait around 6 more weeks to find out. Girl or boy, it was great fun to get to see our Cub and to get to have Grammy there for this special time!

Friends

Sometimes these two really do act lovingly towards each other. I have found them playing together more and more, and I think it is the best. Abby loves to copy everything that Caleb says. Today, we were driving, and they both kept yelling "Stop". My mom was on the phone, so I needed them to be quiet. Naturally I started to yell out "Stop" as well. With the three of us yelling stop at the same time, it was a funny moment. Abby looks up to Caleb, and he is protective of her (when she isn't getting into his stuff!). Everytime Abby wears a dress or a nightgown, Caleb calls her a little princess. She relishes in the attention and often spins around to show off her outfit. I hope that they will be the best of friends for a long time!
