2 fun updates!

2 fun and random updates from the Troness casa.



#1. Carter no longer puts on a mad face, complete with scrunched up eye brows, and yells when the dogs bark. While watching him get a mad, scrunchy face, and yell at the dogs was crazy funny (on the inside) it really made me realize that I obviously get mad and yell at the dog way too much. So I made a conscious effort not to yell at the dogs when they bark but to say "shhh" instead. Now when the dogs bark Carter goes "shhh" which isn't quite as cute and funny as the mad face complete with scrunched up eye brows, but it makes me feel better that he's copying the "sshh" instead of the yelling.



#2. We're going to find out if baby numero dos is a boy or a girl on September 9th. Well, I should say we want to find out if it's a boy or a girl on September 9th. Hopefully baby will cooperate! While I was previously dead set on not finding out, I woke up one day and realized I had to know. Joe was on the fence about not finding out, but was going along with with it for me. Then I called him up one morning and said "I have to know!" It's a variety of reasons including bonding with this baby, having the fun of finding cute bedding and planning the room and such (love the planning and researching stuff!), figuring out a name (we're having a TOUGH time with this), being able to tell Carter little brother or little sister (not that it matters now, but once he's older it will/might), and when it comes down to it, the baby's gender is a surprise either way. Either you're surprised at the 20 week ultrasound or you're surprised at 40ish weeks on delivery day. I'm excited to be excited and nervous all over again for the big anatomy ultra sound. I remember being so excited and so nervous when I was pregnant with Carter. It was so fun! Can't wait to do it again! Now that we've decided to find out, September 9th seems so far away!
