24 Weeks: An Ear of Corn

Technically, today is 24 weeks, 6 days. It's been a very busy week. Thankfully, my little ear of corn is growing right along. He's about a foot long and over a pound. The bulletin said that he gained 4 oz last week. That's 1/4 of a pound! So, why did I gain 2 pounds??? Probably because I can't stop eating sweets. Rad loves sweets. He loves them for breakfast, after lunch, and especially after dinner. In fact, I am thinking about making a milkshake right now. Yummmm.

In the past week, I had a great visit from my college friend Darby. It's been at least 2 years since I have seen her and we didn't miss a beat. I sure wish I could have participated in the Sunday Funday she and KP shared though!

I also went to Houston for Eva's 30th bday dinner and got to see some of the BDC. While there, I got to spend some good time with my Mom and my nephews, with a little bit of time squeezed in for Dad, older sis, brother-in-law, and little sis.

I came home with a carload of things for Rad, many packaged in a boot box hand colored by my very creative and helpful nephews. I now am in possession of a breast pump, "the mobile that is best for development," toys, some clothes (3 more boxes will be here in a couple of weeks), and some accessories that I don't even know how to use.

KP has been working for his sculpture professor, which he's loving. Plus, I picked up a new client and got their house on the market in less than 12 hours, with Jane's help of course; Mac had to be rushed to the doggie ER because he decided to eat a bee; and we did enough yard work to hopefully last the winter...of until the leaves fall.

I am sharing all of this as my excuse of why I am updating at the 11th hour! Oh, and no picture. I am currently wearing sweats, a tight tie-died t-shirt, and a towel on my head. +16 lbs. Catch y'all next week...

Name Update: I will be giving y'all a present on my birthday...THE NAME. Don't fret...it's only two weeks away.
