28 Weeks

I'm at the beginning of the end! 28 weeks means I've started the 3rd trimester, which I can hardly believe. What is baby girl up to? According to babycenter.com, By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
She's very active and my whole belly moves when she kicks her legs or throws a punch. Chloe likes to point to my belly and say "baby" :) Kevin is working his way through the baby name book and I'm trying to hold off on pulling out all the newborn clothes to exclaim over and over about how small they are :)

Our nephew was born on the 21st of January and I'm due the 21st or 22nd of April -- will they be exactly 3 months apart?? We'll have to wait and see :)

I think another 21 would help me remeber all these birthdays..1-2, 2-1, and 4 is half of 8...this also means a lot of family planing in the future!!!!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
