25 1/2 Weeks

Well folks, not only is there is a lot going on in babyland (kicks, movements, karate chops, ect) but the same goes for the soon-to-be parents! Life has been somewhat chaotic in last few weeks, but Mike and Alesha know things will work out eventually. Anyway, back to those kicks--Mike and Alesha are really enjoying that and spend almost every night sitting together, one hand each on Alesha's belly, feeling these amazing movements! It's the coolest thing.

Here are some recent photos of our growing baby and subsequent growing belly. All of a sudden it seems like Alesha's belly is expanding rapidly. Even strangers are doing a double take as if to say, "Is that lady eating too many cream puffs or is she pregnant?" Maybe both, they wonder.

Top photo: 24 weeks; Middle photo: 25 weeks; Bottom photo: 25 1/2 weeks (yesterday).

Mike also put together the baby's crib over the weekend (see below). It's exciting to see something tangible, like the crib, come together! The reality that we'll have a tiny, wonderful baby soon is becoming more and more vivid with every kick, baby item assembled, and expansion of belly.

Stay tuned for more details!

Love,

Mike, Alesha and baby
