We're Moving and Potty Training!

Update #1- Miss Alexis has decided that diapers are for babies and has begun potty training all on her own! One day a week or so ago, she started dragging Sarah to the bathroom every couple of minutes and lo and behold, she knew what she was doing! She's slowly getting the hang of it and if all goes well, we'll never have to worry about two kids in diapers at the same time!

Update #2- After finding a place and changing our minds (The actual apartment was waaaaaay worse then the model they showed us), we found a new place for us to live and we're very excited to be moving at the end of the month. Sarah found a place called Lamberton Lake Apartments a couple miles from where we currently live. As the name implies, the complex sits on a small lake on the Northeast side of GR. The place has a lot of things that we're excited about including being dog friendly, a Beach and huge Grassy Area for Summer fun, bigger rooms for us and the girls, a fitness center and free heat during the cold winter months! Starting May 1st, our new address will be:

Jason & Sarah Rostar

3136 Plaza Dr NE, Apt A10

Grand Rapids, MI 49525

Forgot to mention that we had the follow up appointment earlier this week and all concerns are gone. Nothing mysterious or trouble some on the Ultrasound. For the first time in this pregnancy, everything is normal! And we're already over half way! Another thing that happened is the C-Section was scheduled! August 21st is the date barring any future concerns, issues, etc from this little baby we call Pika.

Video - Kira's New Guitar

For Kira's 4th Birthday, we got her a pink guitar. She loves playing with Mommy's guitar and so we thought she would love having her own. We left it out for her birthday and it was the first thing she saw when she woke up. She immediately came in to tell us Thank You while we were still in bed then she ran out to sit on the couch and strum away. Here's a couple short video clips of her jamming in the last couple of weeks.

Pictures - Baby Pika Update & Ultrasound - Pika is a...

We had a doctor's appointment today because of some concerns and we found out both good and bad news. First, the bad news...

Sarah has an infection that puts Baby Pika at risk for a preterm labor. Not too big of a deal as we have an antibiotic to deal with that and hopefully it will be cleared up in no time. The bigger concern is the ultrasound tech found a growth near the baby in the uterus. She didn't notice it at the last ultrasound two weeks ago, but it was pretty sizable today. We have a follow up appointment in two weeks to see if it continues to grow. The doctors didn't really have an idea of what it was... so we just wait and watch and see.

Now on to the good news! Since we were so close to the normal baby screening ultrasound, we got to find out what the baby is. And a drum roll please...

Baby Pika is a Girl!

Thats right, three little baby girls! We went right out and bought a cute little dress for Baby Pika. Luckily, we saved most of Lexi's recent clothes and things, so we have a head start.

And here are the Ultrasound pics!
