I knew there must be some reason that they make these maternity shirts so big!  They seem huge early on, but wow am I growing out of all of mine (all three) at this point.  It is about time for Chimi to come out for a visit.  We are 37 weeks today and counting.  That is considered term, but we are really hoping to hold out for the actual due date, somewhere between the 23rd and 28th of this month.  Janis has been gone except a few days here and there, since the beginning of September and boy are we glad he is coming home in a few days!  Aina is a handful with this big ole belly.

Chimi is still wiggling around a lot, but I am noticing less because of the constant blond whirlwind of a distraction I have at home!  Aina seems to think it is going to be a sister, but no matter what, she knows she will be a big sister soon and slaps my "baby tummy" and says "my baby" a lot!

Chimichanga at about 20 weeks.  Look at that nose!!  I think s/he is smiling!  Must be cozy in there, hope s/he is ready for the great, wide world!

23 weeks, summer SLC.

34 weeks, backyard.

Chimichanga's First Blog.......

Poor second child!  We are late in the sixth month of this pregnancy and this is my first blog.  Better late than never.  Little one had a fun week.  On Tuesday afternoon, I got home from work and big sis was interested in trying to feel the baby again.  Typically this consists of Aina putting her ear to my stomach, then a gentle hand, and then slapping a few times before I can catch her hand.  This time, she actually stayed there long enough that Chimi was able to exact a little much deserved revenge on her and kick her in the head!  I would pay a lot of money to have gotten a picture of Aina's face.  She was SO surprised, it was absolutely hilarious.  We also had our first round of hiccups that I was awake for this morning.  Almost in the third trimester.  I will try to fill in some pregnancy/Aina's world gaps in coming weeks.
