picture of daddy's b-day scan

Here are a few picture of the scan done on Saturday 22/12

She had her head pushing on my kidney and her feet kicking in my stomach.
Do I need to say I don't feel really comfortable for the moment? ;-)

Scan for daddy's B-day

We went to do an extra scan for Francis' B-day on Saturday.
We did some pictures and a 3d movie specially for him.

She looked a bit annoyed by all of it and kept on kicking me but it's fun too keep.

The movie is a bit long 9min and the music quite annoying but it's fun any way ;-)

kicking

Since this weekend is Méliane kicking like crazy.
we can now see it from the outside. It was a bit scary at first but we really enjoy it now.
It really feel like she is with us. Usually if Francis is saying something wrong or getting on my nerve she will give me a big kick, I'm sure she can feel that I am annoyed and react to this.
So funny

scan December 13th

We went to do our 2nd medical scan yesterday and everything is fine.
She weight 670gr (23.64oz) I forgot to ask her size ;-)
We saw the blood flowing in her heart, and the doc checked everything.
For the moment she really looked like Francis, she is really African... We are so happy she is doing well. She was a bit shy to start with because always hiding her face with her arms but she finally show us her face after a little while.
We got confirmation it is a girl!! Ouf, I had a dream they were telling us it was a boy and could imagine Francis' face thinking of all the pink dresses he got him ;-)

But lucky her it's a girl and it's sure now. Like always she was really dynamic and couldn't stop moving.

Francis told me last night that he can't take her face out of his mind already, so sweet!!

Doc appointment

We went to the doctor on Thursday and everything is fine.
He was glad with our state and just said that I need to rest as good as I did last month.
As least he didn't do any comment while listening to the baby heartbeat!!
Only problem I gained 2,5 kg (5,5 pounds) during our 10 days in Texas ;-) oops

Sorting time

Nadège is helping me sort out by age and size everything we received and bought in Texas.






Thanks you all for everything!!

We have pretty much everything we need until 6 months

Our last day in Texas

This was our car for the holidays

Thank you everyone for everything you did while we were there.
We really had fun and I'm really glad Francis liked it as much as I do.
Hope to see y'all soon

Cabela's

This is a huge outdoor store.
We spend there 5 hours!!
Francis learned as much as possible about hunting from Stacy, he even went hunting and shoot gun the day before with him and Kameron.

This is my host family while I lived in Texas 10 years ago.
