...goodbye to the long.

<3 SAY HI TO OLIVER <3

Oliver Update

So I begin my 28th week tomorrow and we're really hitting some cool milestones in this 3rd trimester.
Olivers brain, which has been smooth up to this point, begins to get it's characteristic grooves. I feel the need to read and sing to him all week.
His longs are also now capable of breathing air which is a wonderful feeling. He doesn't have to be a fish anymore! : ) Even though he's still not ready to be on the outside yet, if he were born now he has an excellent chance of survival. Every mom feels great when they make it to that point in the pregnancy.

With kiran at this point I had probably already gained about 25 or 26lbs, which was right on target, but at the top of what was considered good and normal. This time I've gained 15lbs but I feel SO MUCH LARGER. Part of me hopes this summer will just fly by.

Happy Birthday Kiran!

I can't believe my pumpkin turns 3 today. (and further that I'll be 26 in just 3 days myself). Her response to "Happy Birthday" so far has been, ummm, "happy birthday"!!! No thank you's yet. I think this is a result to Daddy, Mommy, Kiran, MiMi, and TWO cousings all having birthdays within like a month of each other. In her world, everyone close to her has a birthday right about now! But she certainly understands the age and growing concepts.
Birthday plus 4th of July pics will post soon.
