Weighing in...

I had my 6th month visit today and have so far gained about 17 pounds, not bad for 26.5 weeks if I do say so myself. :) I still weigh less than I did last pregnancy at this point in my current pregnancy, but there is still plenty of time to surpass that weight at the end. People have often asked me how much total weight I gained the first time around, and I verified today that it was right around 30 pounds. (about 8 pounds of it was Lydia) Anyhow, everything is fine with the baby and hopefully, my glucose test will come back negative.

I had placed an order for some books that cousin Jacob owned which Lydia loved reading while in Tampa. Well, they came in today and after one reading, already some of the pages are bent and one even has a torn piece. All the books are board books, but a few have flip pages that ask "where is ..."; I don't think that they will last very long since they are Lydia's favorites.

Congratulations to Jonathan & Grace on the birth of Rachel on December 22th... to Christine & Jun expecting their first child in May, and to Louis & Martha expecting their third child in June.
