Happy 25 Weeks, Bean! I can't believe that we only have 15 weeks to go before we meet you. It was a very slow week (activity-wise), except for Daddy's basketball game on Wednesday, but the weekend has picked up and we've been keeping busy. According to the "experts," you should be around 13 inches long and about the size of a rutabaga. Mommy's not sure what a rutabaga is, but maybe it will give you a good vocabulary word to look up when you read this. I love you no matter what size you are and these 15 weeks better go just as fast as the last 25 so we can finally see you!
I know I wrote to you a little bit on Wednesday about Daddy's big win, and that was so exciting! Thursday we were able to have Clara in the morning before school, and after we played with her we went over to our friend Natalie's for a play date. Natalie is so nice and she has three kids (Brynn age 5, Jake age 2, and Summer 5 months) who are absolutely adorable. Your sister had a fun time playing with them and their fun toys and Mommy had a great time catching up with Natalie. Daddy was home for the evening on Thursday for the first time in two weeks, so we had a nice evening together as a family.
Friday was another big basketball day- the Regional Championship! We had Clara again in the morning and after she went to school, Tenley and I cleaned out the kitchen and my closet. After that we just relaxed and got ready for the big game. Grandma Carol came over around 6:30 and off we went to Thornwood High School. Daddy's team played very hard but the other team was just really good- the final score was 54-47 and Daddy's team lost. Daddy had such a great season and we are SO VERY PROUD of everything that he accomplished with his team. Now he has to get ready for his awards night and collect uniforms, and then he will have a little time off from basketball.
Saturday we had a relaxing day and then a very fun night. Daddy needed to go out to the Michigan City outlet mall to get some new work clothes and your sister needed some new clothes to get her through the rest of the cold weather. All of her warm pants and shirts are too short for her! After we did some shopping, we went out to dinner and then stopped at Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jeff's house for a visit. It was such a fun family evening and I hope that you enjoyed the chicken wings that I ate more than I did...they were kind of gross. :(
Today is going to be another day around the house. Daddy has to go over and help Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jeff with some things but he has the whole day off of school tomorrow! This week is going to be super busy, Bean. Tomorrow we should do some cleaning, Tuesday we are going to run some errands with Becky and Finn and we have our next midwife appointment with Bernie, Wednesday we get to see you in another ultrasound (hooray!), Thursday we are hoping to go to Bellaboo's with Rachel and Violet, Friday night Grandma Cindy will come, Saturday is our sprinkle thrown by our wonderful friends, and Sunday is Violet's first birthday party and a special basketball game that Daddy is playing in...Phew! I hope Mommy is still standing by the end of the week. The most exciting part is that we get to see you again and Mommy is every anxious for that. Betty is such a good friend and she is going to come with us so that she can keep an eye on Tenley and help Mommy hear what the doctor has to say. I am very excited for her to see you too! Please just keep growing and kicking, Bean- your kicks are the best feeling ever and I can feel them all the time, mostly all day long! We love you...15 weeks and counting!
Here are some belly pictures from this week- we're getting bigger!
