Yeah, I'm still alive...

Well, the dead laptop is finally revived, so I can blog again. I have had to limit all of my computering to work (where they frown on the blogging) and home with Mike's ancient laptop, which is not even worth the trouble. But I'm back, and hopefully more faithful...

Phillip (the baby, not the uncle) is growing nicely. I had an ultrasound last Tuesday and he is TALL. He is about a week and a half longer than he should be :) Considering Olivia was almost 22 inches when she was born, I'm not surprised. Mike and I aren't really tall people, I'm 5' 8 and he's 6', but our dads and their families are tall. My dad is 6'3 and Mike's dad was 6'2, so no surprise that our kids are tall. Olivia is currently 4'6. She's 7. Yeah, I think 6' is a good projection for her. So, it looks like Phillip will be tall too. His weight was right on track (best they could tell), so he's tall and skinny, so far.

He moves ALL THE TIME! I'm not complaining, believe me. Whenever he doesn't move, I freak out, so I'm happy for the constant kicking, but he's got really big feet, so I feel it.

I can't believe he will be here in 71 days. I haven't done the nursery yet. We bought the bedding, but we still have to paint and reassemble the furniture that's been in the attic for 5 1/2 years. We did get the stroller/car seat and a swing, so we're moving in the right direction. I'm so lucky, I have all of these friends that just had babies, so I'm getting tons of hand-me-downs. Usually, I'm really picky about stuff like that, but I've realized that some things I will only use for a few weeks, so what is it going to hurt to not own it myself.

This week we are heading to the mountains for a week or so. Nothing like thin mountain air and steep inclines to pamper you in your last trimester. Our townhouse is nice, right beside a pool, and has a hot tub, so I'm happy. Drop me a line and say hello, I like to know who's reading :)
