Month & A Half To Go!

Well Madison it seems like just yesterday I was frantically running out to CVS at 10 at night to grab more pregnancy tests to confirm what the 3 previous tests had told us.  These past 7.5 months have gone by quick.  Maybe more so for me than your mother.  I haven't been saddled with the whole task of growing a new human being inside me like she has.

As you get bigger and bigger (this size of a LARGE cantaloupe now 21 inches long and 5.5 lbs - I don't know where this app finds its cantaloupes but I've never seen one that big) your movements and kicks inside the womb are more and more intense to Meghan.  You're running out of room quick in there!  I can see her belly moving around when you decide to switch positions.

Your room is all ready for your arrival.  Mom took a week off to get everything organized and wash all your little clothing.  A ton of clothing which people tell me we'll use all of because you're going to be pooping all over everything at an alarming rate.

This past weekend was your Uncle Chris (Reining)'s wedding.  Not to be confused with your Uncle Chris (Peters) whose wedding is a month after you're born which you may or may not attend depending on what the doctor tells us.  It was your mom's 3rd wedding being pregnant and thus not enjoying all the thrills an open bar can bring.  Unfortunately for me I enjoyed it all too much and was quite hung over the next day.  I blame your Grandma Penny and the bottle of tequila she smuggled in to the event.

Here's your Mom in her bridesmaid dress.  This was quite a problem as you got bigger and bigger.  She was worried she was going to be too big to get into it.  Thankfully she was able! Sorry for the blurs. iPhones aren't great at pictures in motion.  Maybe since you're reading this in THE FUTURE they have improved their camera?

Here's your Uncle and his groomsmen before the wedding.  The horse masks were Chris's idea.  I think they looked hilarious.  Later in the evening, after several drinks, your father could be seen on the dance floor in one of those horse masks doing the robot.  Thankfully I don't think any pictures were taken of that...

...but I certainly got a picture of your Uncle Chris as he rampaged around the dance floor in one!  At this point in the night he had stripped down from his wedding suit to just a tshirt and slacks.  He was totally the life of the party.
