Best moment this week: um, I guess just feeling the baby swimming laps/running marathons or whatever baby is doing in there.

Food cravings: brownies, chocolate milk, water, cereal

What I miss: Being about to do anything without feeling out of breath.

Baby Development: Baby could be as tall as 17inches (but probably not our little one) and is around 3lbs now. Over the next 10 weeks baby will double in not close to triple her weight.

till next week....

He is completely weened to a bottle and sippy cup


He can get to standing on anything he can pull up on and has a few times stood independently for a few seconds

He loves other people, especially babies and kids, or himself in the mirror

He is wearing mostly 9mo clothes

He sleeps about 11-12 hours at night

He takes 2 naps per day

He always smiles, talks to and trys to go after the cat

He loves his daddy

He loves turning the pages of books

He loves "eating" anything and everything that he can get into/near his mouth

Upon finding out my babies will be just over 12 months apart..."Is that even possible?"

Baby Girl Update

Had a doctor's appointment today, however just when I got there the doctor got called out to a delivery so I saw the nurse practitioner. Because of that, I didn't get to schedule the c-section yet. They should call me next week to schedule it.

Everything is checking out great. I passed the glucose test. :) I got the rogam shot. :(
Baby's heart rate was ~130. I am measuring 28.5cm, a little big for 27 weeks, interesting since baby was measuring small 10-30th %tile.

That's about it.

Kooza

Can I just say, "I love, love, love Cirque du soleil!" Well, I do and it's my blog so I can say whatever I like.


Devin and I just got back from seeing "Kooza" at Marymoore Park. It was excellent as all the shows are. I think this is my 7th show. I've seen 3 at Marymoore Park and 4 in Vegas if you count seeing "O" twice. I give "O" a hands down 10 out of 10. In my opinion it's the best cirque show. You should all see it in Vegas at the Bellagio. It's worth every penny. I give "Kooza" a 7 out of 10.




The thing that always gets me is the crazy stuff they come up with. I mean seriously how do they come up with this stuff. One arm handstands on chairs 30 feet in the air, a guy on a unicycle carrying and flipping another woman while riding, flips on stilts off the teeterboard.

I think it would be so fun to be in cirque. I'm a circus wanna be. Remember this trapeze class. Maybe someday, I'll run away with the circus. Just kidding! But it would be fun.
