A boy! I was wrong (once again!) in guessing girl.

The baby NO.3 was very cooperative during the sonogram appointment and all the necessary measurements were gotten swiftly, his gender determined easily, and he even posed for us for 3D scan portrait! Here’s what he looks like now. Some how I think that he doesn’t look much like Immi or Ashland.

I was looking forward to sewing/knitting girly frilly pink baby things…but I guess I don’t get to do that! I’m glad he’s a boy though — I think that it all makes sense and I couldn’t have planned it better. Here are some reasons why I think it perfect:

1. Immi will remain the *only* princess in the house (which will definitely suit her personality). 2. Ashland and No.3 will be close together in age, so hopefully they will be best friends! 3. Whatever clothing item that survives Ashland’s abuse (there won’t be much…) can go straight to his little brother. And it won’t be long before same toys will be “age appropriate” for both of them. 4. Boys are (more boring but…) easier to dress. They seem to only need shirts and pants and most boy-colors mix-match well.

Our garden isn’t doing as well as it had in Virginia — I think that we don’t get enough sun on this balcony and we’ve has unseasonably cooler spring and summer (which I’m very very happy about). Besides, we’ve been too busy to put much effort into gardening. Most of the herbs we planted are looking a bit puny and the tomato plant really hasn’t gotten much bigger in past several months. The strawberries are doing okay and they’ve started to ripen.

We ventured out to the Saturday Market (which is oddly open both Sat/Sun!). I got german sausage on a bun with grilled onions, peppers and sauerkraut. Yum — especially the sauerkraut which was very fresh and crunchy!

Coffee time at Heart Roasters. I got americano. It was so completely delicious that I wished I had gotten a bigger cup!

Todd came home late last night from a work related event with a big pink box full of donuts! He told me that he got me *pink ones* — surely color isn’t how donuts should get chosen… They are really cute though.

These are from Voodoo Doughnuts. I love that they hand-stamp their philosophy on to otherwise plain pink box (it doesn’t even have their store name on it…).
