It's a (drum roll please)....................

Any more guesses??

We had our second trimester detailed ultrasound today. It went very well! Baby is doing great... growth, bloodflow, heartbeat, measurements, etc. Woohoo! :) Mira came with us to this appt and afterwards kept talking about going to the doctor and seeing the "baby in mommy's tummy." We drop her off at daycare and let her announce the news to her friends and teachers.

The past few days have been very eventful. Friday was Mira's birthday. We celebrated at her school with her classmates with Coldstone ice cream cupcakes (YUM) and party favors that she helped me put together. Her classmates made her birthday cards (so cute). Everyone was dressed up in their Halloween costumes and they went to the elementary school across the street for the Halloween parade.

Here's a pic of Mira and a few of her classmates, (left to right: Becca (Snow White), Mira (Belle), Scarlett (Sleeping Beauty), Sienna (Katara) and Preston (Fire Fighter)).

Saturday was Elle's (Mira's step cousin) birthday party. Her and Mira are only 3 days apart! Mira and I drove out to Arcadia for the party while Mark helped prepare for Mira's party the next day.

Sunday was Mira's bday party with family at the house. We ate, ate and ate some more! Thank you so much to all the family that came especially the Basu's for driving out from SD, the Garcia's for cooking almost all the food (not to mention bringing the Belle cake that Mira fell in LOVE with!) and Brig and Maryan as the clean-up crew! :)

Here's a pic of Mira's cousin in her home-made Yo Gabba-Gabba Foofa costume. So, not only did Nicole (Marks' sister) make amazing pinakbit for the party, but also managed to make this incredible costume for her daughter, Helena!

Then, of course, trick-or-treating... we met up with some of Mira's classmates and friends (Becca, Ben, Sienna, Liam, Evan and Lucas) and went trick-or-treating at Sienna and Liam's awesome Halloween-friendly neighborhood. The kids had a blast!

So... as you can tell, I'm stalling to keep you all on the edge of your seats (hope it worked)! Here is a picture from today's visit. A perfect side profile of our beautiful baby boy. :) Mira will soon have a baby brother!
