It has been a busy month of work, child care duties, ocean swims, visits to the obstetrician, and pre natal yoga. We've also managed to catch up with friends and even see the band "The Killers" on a rare night out.
It's been a rough week for Henry boy. Up until now he hasn't shown any distress over getting new teeth, but this week he (and us) have been put to the test. The only teeth he doesn't have are his first molars and one of them looks like it is about to make its debut. He has had moments of awful pain and a few nights of not sleeping through. We think he's turned a corner, as he seemed a lot better today. Although we can only see one of the four teeth he is yet to sprout, so naturally concerned he and us will be going through this another three times.
Little baby no.2 is growing. Regrettably I said to our obstetrician that I thought this baby might be smaller than Henry, as I didn't feel as big. Our obstetrician quite politely reset my expectations and said it was unlikely and I should expect another 9 pounder. I have to admit this week it feels like my tummy has doubled in size and I'm preparing myself for an uncomfortable remaining three months.
Friends are already speculating that little baby no.2 is a girl. This is based on whether they think my tummy is high or low. I don't believe in these myths and don't have an inkling on what the gender will be, but we have now come up with a short list of names so feel prepared and excited at the uncertainty.
