Hello family and friends!
We are a little late posting this, BUT, again - like last week - we took the pictures on Wednesday, the 21st of May 2008 when we did in fact begin our 24th week. WOW. That means we have 16 weeks to go or 112 days left! Whew!
As you can see we are growing. This week our girl is the length of an ear of corn or just over a foot long and weighs about 1 pound and 4 ounces. We have been enjoying every second of this pregnancy (if you haven't noticed). Baby and momma are doing well. Dad is still as proud as ever and even in more awe with all the moving little Olive (that is what we call her right now) makes.
This past week Emma had her first breast feeding class with Kitty Maxwell (whom is a lactation consultant and nurse in the SB area who is amazing!). In addition, we have already signed up for two birthing classes -one at Cottage Hospital (where we will deliver) and one with a natural child birth educator (we wish to do this as natural as possible - meaning no drugs or intervention - I know if you are reading this you probably think we are crazy and we probably are). We have also signed up for a parenting class to help us figure out what we might experience the first couple of weeks when our girl is born! We are still nervous about being parents but feel that the steps we are taking right now are really going to help us make our transition to parenthood smoother.
On the remodel note, all we have left is painting and baseboards after tomorrow, Monday, as our handy person is installing the last of the cabinets and our microwave. HURAY!!!
We hope you all have been enjoying this memorial day weekend! We know we have! In spite of so, so weather we have been beach bbqing and spending time enjoying SB!
Til next post!
Be well and lots of love, Emma, Kevin, Astro and Olive
