Only eight official weeks to go! Reality keeps setting in, from the size of mama's belly, the actions of the baby, mama's work coming to an end for a while, dad fixing up the baby's room, the crib and bedding being ordered, the cradle arriving and rocking in the living room, to the excitement that we have and the interest even strangers take in our new addition. The baby is about 4 pounds already, and almost 12 inches long. Hopefully, he will grow an a usual pace that doesn't reflect the size of the belly, and mama will have an easy labor and a healthy and happy baby boy.

over 30 weeks!

after a morning of lots of walking around, Caro needs to take a load off. Unfortunately for Adam, there were no benches around.
A little more than two months to go and feeling fine (just a bit heavy).

Here we are just a week later and the baby just won't stop! He's moving and swimming and kicking like a bundle of energy. On Mother's day, he went for 4 hours straight!

That's right! Week 28 has come and we are definitely into the third trimester. Mom is doing well, even if she isn't getting enough sleep because the little buckeroo likes to practice gymnastics in the middle night. Papa has finally started to wind down with his semester- only a few more things to finish up, so he has had time to update as you can see.
That photo is totally untouched- we are asked constantly if it's twins, or "how many minutes left?" and people are surprised to hear we have almost three months to go! But she just grows more beautiful each day and i have more to love.
