Week 18

After a long holiday weekend, we have finally gotten around to a new post. We celebrated the weekend and the 18th week with a trip to the Gates in Central Park. Here is the beautiful mama-to-be as she gets ready for the trip. (ps - she finally passed 36 inches for her belly!!!)

Ok, ok... it took us a while to get our week 16 photo up--- we have been busy lining up a new home for us and baby turba!
Anyways, we tried to 'divine' the gender of baby turba. We used the same technique my mom did with me- tie the wedding ring to a string and hold it over the belly. If it goes back and forth, its a boy. If it goes in circles, its a girl.
When we tried, it just spun around. Then it went back and forth, then around in circles, then back and forth again. If we aren't having triplets (which we aren't!) I don't know anymore now than I knew before (at least about the baby's gender :-))

Week 16

We should have some more mama photos to post soon, but we have been busy celebrating another birth- well an anniversary of the papa's birth. We also listened to some more music this week, most notably was Brahm's Seven Fantasias.
Mama is very excited about the quickening that should be happening soon. She swears (and I don't doubt it) that she felt it kick last night! This little creature develops so fast and we are just so excited to meet it, but we are taking every opportunity to enjoy each day.
On that note, any music suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
