26 Weeks

This week the baby weighs 1.75 pounds and is 13 inches from head to toe or about the length and weight of this huge piece of pie!

New Printer's Row Park

Saturday morning was the opening of a new park just down the block from our apartment. It was a beautiful day and the "ribbon" cutting ceremony utilized yarn from Loopy Yarns, a great knitting store down the street.



This park was 10 years in the making and 6 months ago looked like a sad little parking lot! The space is well done and is completed by benches that mimic moveable type. So fun!

Construction


After 2 weeks of having this huge contraption in our living room, we have a beautiful new patch in our ceiling and roof! We tried to cover as much of our stuff with plastic and sheets to protect it from the dust and debris, but there was a lot of dust. I've spent the last few days washing the floors (this had to be done 3 times!), windows, and walls - pretty much every surface in our house! I even vacuumed the brick walls. I'm starting to really feel like a crazed pregnant lady "nesting", but honestly it all had to be cleaned. We are just thankful that all this construction work was done before the baby arrived and with plenty of time to take care of the mess!

Now I'm off to give India a bath - please notice that she is of course in the middle of this construction picture. She could often be found rolling around in the dust - such a gross little kitty!

23 Weeks

So this is a little bit late in being posted, but more on that later!

This week Lil' Lewlew weighs just over a pound, the same as a mango!
Brad has been able to feel the baby move for a couple weeks, which makes it all seem more real!!
He or she is much more active, especially in the evening. it looks like we have a little night owl on our hands.
