"We've made it. Pookie and I are at 27 weeks, 6 days which means I'm now more pregnant than I've ever been. The last four weeks have been nervewracking - especially when I gained 3 pounds in 2 days a few weeks ago and thought for sure I was taking on excess fluid again. Alas, I was back down 2 pounds 2 days after that and my ultrasound revealed totally normal fluid levels. We will gladly take all the normal we can get.
So, so grateful today and starting to breath a little easier..."
And then I failed to post it. So, now you'll get a bonus belly shot of me - 29 weeks, 5 days pregnant and a few random pictures from this summer.
Here Jake is finishing up the Spring semester at the Little Gym. He'll be back in the fall, as his pediatrician has told us to keep him in gymnastics until he screams and yells and tells us he hates it (gymnastics is one of the best things we can do to continue to develop his core strength and gross motor skills). Luckily for us, he still loves going!
Festival for the Eno is a(n almost) yearly Fourth of July weekend tradition for us:
Fourth of July fireworks with Lily and Aunt Kat. So nice to have family here!! But I guess Jake was a little more freaked out than we realized. ;)
On the plane to Papaw George and Gamma B's making his best Papaw George face (Papaw did this one day on skype and it has since become "the Papaw George face"):
At the awesome playground by my parent's house in Indy. He's the little guy at least two stories up:
Licking the beater after helping me make zucchini bread using Colorado Grandma's recipe and GG (Grandma Helmling)'s mixer:
First nap in his "Big Boy" bed. The first night in his big boy bed he woke up crying at 2 and I instantly caved and put him back in his crib. Second night he woke up and I went and laid with him (fell asleep on his bed because I'd already been up over an hour - thanks pregnancy insomnia!). Third night and every night since he has slept all night and done great!!
Up next, some photos from our week on Bald Head Island and maybe a video of a baby turtle making his way to sea...
