Hello there little guy! How are you doing in there? From the feel of it, you are having a grand old time stretching and flexing whatever is next to my ribs. I am so happy to feel you move so often and I hope you keep it up for the next 6 weeks or so. You are now 34 weeks and, if you were born now, you would be very likely to be just as happy and healthy as a full term baby (according to the "experts"). Don't go getting any ideas, though- I would much rather have you stay put for the next 6 weeks so that you are nice and ripe when you come out.
We had a very nice weekend at Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Rand's house plus it was your Daddy's birthday! We left for Howe after Daddy's school day on Friday night and got there just in time to go eat pizza with Grandma and Grandpa. When we were done eating, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house where Tenley played and danced and sang for our entertainment. It was a fun night and although your sister didn't sleep very well, we were still happy to be there.
Saturday started nice and early because we had a very special baby shower to go to. We woke up and wished Daddy a very happy birthday and then got ready to head to Fort Wayne for the day. It was the day of our good friend Katherine's baby shower and it was so much fun to catch up with everyone. The shower was beautiful and we are so excited for Baby Squadroni to get here in August. We don't know yet whether Baby S is a boy or a girl, so that will be a fun surprise at the end of the summer. I once again do not have a normal belly picture from this weekend, but we have something even better- pictures of Katherine (and Baby S), Tiffany (and Baby Boy Nichols), and Mommy (with Baby Bean) all standing together. We will be having Tiffany's shower in two weeks where we will get similar pictures- it will be so fun to see how our bellies progress in the next 14 days. :) Here are some pictures from the fun day:

Baby Bumps!

This group of girls is so special to Mommy. We danced together for YEARS and were the best of friends growing up. We spent many weekends at dance competitions together and took all of our family vacations as a group. I am so excited that we get to see them all again in just two short weeks!
After the shower, it was time to celebrate Daddy's birthday. We headed over to Aunt Lou and Uncle Bernard's where we ate a yummy dinner, watched the Kentucky Derby, and ate cake and ice cream. We spent the rest of the evening talking and watching your sister dance. It was perfect.
Sunday was another great day. We went to church and then to McDonald's with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, Aunt Lou and Uncle Bernard, Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Rand, and Uncle Terry. After we ate some yummy food, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's and spent the afternoon by the lake. Tenley had fun fishing with Grandpa Rand and Daddy and then spent lots of time running around outside with Aunt Lou. We ate a great dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and then had to leave. It is always hard to leave Howe, but we are excited to know that we will be going back again for next weekend.

I think Daddy will be excited if you are a little more enthused about fishing than your sister was!
Well, Bean, it is getting late and your sister needs to go to bed. We have your biophysical profile appointment with Dr. Losure tomorrow and a midwife appointment with Bernie on Wednesday. Hopefully both appointments will be great and we will be all set for another week. I will try to fill you in on everything in a couple of days, but in the meantime please keep kicking in there and I can't wait to meet you soon!
