Our New Addition!

It seems I am getting worse and worse about keeping the blog up - but in my defense I tried to do it about a week ago and stupid blogger was down! Anyhow, here are some recent pics of the boy and - yes - the new addition!!! As most of you know, Max has a little brother or sister on the way. I am almost 14 weeks along and happy to report I think I'm through the "morning" sickness phase (though it was really morning, noon, and night!). I'm still struggling with some fatigue and dizziness, plus there's the insomnia and weird food aversions / cravings. So far, baby is measuring great and heartbeat sounds perfect. We're so excited to welcome another peanut. Since we already have one girl (though at 16 Syd's practically a woman!!!) and one boy, this little one will shift the balance. Will girls dominate. . .or will it be boys? Any bets? I have had 2 dreams that it's a girl. . .In any case, this baby will be born in the year of the dragon (like its momma!) and will in all likelihood, be a leo (also like momma - - and Grandpa Paul, or "Hoppa" as Max calls him). Our EDD is August 21st, so I will be big as a house in the midst of our disgusting Atlanta summer heat. . .should be delightful.


Playdate with the twins. Max always inserts himself on their momma's lap. Hey, what's one more?

The boy's latest thing - rearranging all the furniture.

hamming it up at the park.

bump redux. this is me at 13 weeks. 5 lbs up and it's all in the belly!

Here's Mizithra! (that's our nickname for this one. . . you may recall we referred to Max as Hondo while in utero).


Look at our big boy - it wasn't so long ago he could never have climbed on this big slide. . .
