8 months!!

Yep! Eight months. We can barely believe it ourselves. Everything is still going well. Karen and the baby are doing great. The baby's kicks are strong, frequent, and sometimes jabs Karen's bladder a bit too hard.

The baby probably weighs about 5 lbs and will continue to add a 1/2 lb per week. Karen's only complaint is difficulty sleeping (getting comfortable) and constant nasal congestion.

We finished our Bradley Class, but we are still keeping up with our exercises, "homework", and a balanced diet with extra protein (important for baby's brain development).

We're busy getting the apartment ready for our little one. We've been fixing up the nursery, figuring a way to quarantine the cats at night, shopping, and cleaning. Everything is just about ready. Our friend Robyn is hosting a baby shower for us at our house in a couple weeks. We're really looking forward to seeing friends we haven't seen since our pregnancy announcement.


Moss's mother just finished a baby sweater set! Karen also finished another baby sweater--no doubt this kid will be warm.

Karen!!! Omg! You're getting close... I have been checking your blog the last few weeks to see if there were any updates. I love seeing the photos of you and how you're growing and changing. It's just so exciting!!

I can't believe how much baby has grown in one month! I love all the sweaters you're making. You are a busy lady between the sweater fabrication and all your home preparations. Glad to hear that you're both doing well. Let's talk soon. hugs and kisses-- Liz
