Birdie oh Birdie

So I got home from work last night and Corban informed me that the trick I played on the bird wasn't very nice. I hadn't a clue what he was talking about, for I never played a trick on the bird. At least, not intentionally! We give her boxes frequently, as her hobby is to chew boxes to shreds better than any paper shredder, and I gave her an egg carton with an empty egg shell in it. I figured she'd chew or eat the egg shell like she does everything else, but instead, Corban got home yesterday and found the bird to be nesting!!! She is sitting on this empty half egg shell as if it were her own baby! I seriously wouldn't have imagined she'd have thought something that big came out of her, so now we feel bad taking it away from her, although when we do (soon!), she will probably miss it so much that she will have her own...she's only laid 3 eggs in her lifetime and we fully expect another one now that we've triggered her baby-hunger! The funny habits of animals ;)

The Baby...29 week ultrasound

So we went in for our 29 week ultrasound yesterday and Little Girl Christensen was healthy as could be. We saw everything...the little bladder, the stuff that was in it, her little hands, her hand holding her knee, her head (Corban said to the doctor, "We both have big heads...are you sure her head isn't big? And the doctor reassured him that her head it of normal size!), her other hand holding her knee, her little "Virginia" as the doctor calls it (I half-feared we'd go in yesterday and she'd have a little 'thingey' since we've already got so many pink clothes, but the doctor said it is the funniest looking boy's thingey he's ever seen if it is one!), and the two things that stand out in my mind were that the doctor said she was "long-legged and has a little pot belly!" I thought it was so cute! With the two of us, I'm not sure how she wouldn't be long-legged! I love it! I'd love to post a pic of the ultrasound, but the electricity went out before we could see any more, and so we get to go back and have another one! YEAH! My mom says they aren't good for the baby, but I can never see enough of her (she was kicking in protest of the ultrasound, I must say! I was having earthquakes in my stomach!) The electricity went out right as I was looking at her cute little hand and I was disappointed! We've been looking at my fat-faced double chinned baby pics all week and wondering if she will look like I did as a baby! I could have won FIRST prize in a funny-looking baby contest when I was 3.5 months old, believe it or not (no worries, Mom, I turned out okay!) Anyhow, aren't ultrasounds and babies FUN!? I look forward to meeting her (in late November or early December...not NOW!)
