Big belly, and about 9 more weeks to go!!!


It’s hard to believe that this is just a 7 month pregnancy belly and that there are 2 more months of more growing!!We of course love every moment though, with Nico actively participating, so it seems, in the latest basketball championship games – maybe he can tell how excited his Dad is during these games!

Nico also thought of his Papa on Father’s day and gave him a few books en espanol, including one called – Why I love my Dad. While walking around our neighborhood this past Sunday on Father’s Day, several people wished Jose a happy father’s day! More and more people have been wishing us congratulations when they see us with the big belly – from the lady we pass in her garden, to the metro train driver!

Last weekend we did a child birth class. In addition to talking with other new parents and going through the details of labor, it was fun to see Jose volunteer for the role of the laboring Mom! I couldn’t help but think what a fun guy Jose will be to go through labor with!

In this week’s doctor’s appointment, now every 2 weeks, the Doctor ordered us a sonogram for July 23. We didn’t think we’d get another one, but the Doctor said that being over 35 does have some benefits – more sonograms! So that is something great to look forward to – seeing what our little guy is up to. It will be our last glimpse of him before we meet him in real life about a month later. I keep thinking about what he will be like, and realizing too what a unique moment this is – the last 2 months of our entire lives where we will NOT yet know this guy completely.

It’s great getting closer to our life with Nico every day.
