We had another ultrasound last Tuesdays and the baby gained about 500g... thats about 1 lb. So now she is at about 2.9kg or 6.3 lbs. When Ceci was in the home stretch they said she was going to be very big and she turned out to only be 3.2kg or 7lbs. So we will see. She sure does look big on the ultrasound!
We had our "Diaper Party" yesterday. I decided that we didnt need a "baby shower" because we really have all we need, with all of Ceci's hand-me-downs, but we will need diapers, so we asked guests to just bring a pack of Pampers diapers. Pampers is really the only diapers that work well here in Brazil... We invited all of Leto's friends, men, women and children. We rented a "ball pool" and an inflatable slide for the kiddos, and we had some fun games and good food for the adults! The games included "ball belly," where the men had to stuff as many small balloons in their shirt in 30 seconds as they could. Leto's friend Toni won with 10 balloons! The women had to guess the size of my belly with a piece of ribbon. Ju, who was the first to cut the ribbon won within a millimeter! Super close! We also had a game where everyone had to draw a baby, and Leto and I judged the drawings for a winner.... only problem was they had to draw it on top of their head with out looking! Another game the guests play was "Toilet Paper diaper" where groups of 4 had to diaper one of their group members with TP. A lot of fun! We tried to play 2 other games that didnt go over very well. "Dirty diaper" where you had to guess the chocolate melted in the diaper (i think most thought it was too gross) and "Pin the diaper on the baby" (it was too easy, because they would just feel for the other diapers). I made some special "Dirty Diaper" cookies. Cookies in the shape of diapers filled with chocolate or lemon white chocolate. I thought it was cute, but it grossed some people out...
It was a great party, but by the time most of the guests arrived, Ceci was done. We went to a birthday party the night before and she didnt get to bed till 1130... then she had no nap, so needless to say she was one grumpy lady when mommy wasnt paying attention to her... And I was exhausted! Even though I had so much help from Leto's family I did a lot of work and now know why friends and family are supposed to throw the baby shower for the pregnant lady!
Our next doctor's appointment is on Oct 15 when we will have another ultrasound. So, until then, here are some pics from the party!
