Bathtime

So..right near the end of our pancake, egg and bacon supper, Gracie rubs both hands in the bottom of her bowl with left over syrup and then slicks her hair back. Nice.
Off to the tub we go. Can't help but blog.

And we like baths.

Because afterwards we get to wear our hippo and monkey towels that G-ma bought us!!

And we looOOoove to pose for the camera.

This is for you, Mom. I told you her hair is much longer than it appears!!

But it does THIS when it dries. If it wasn't for the blinding white blond hair, I'd think she had African in her. Tight ringlets. We have had a couple kids with curls, but not this bad, and I say bad because it mats if I do not run a comb through it a couple times each day. That is high maintenance for me! Too cute.

I am watching my weight with this pregnancy, as we all do. These have been the weights of my babies...

Jessica - 8 lbs 12 oz

Jacob - 8 lbs 7 oz

Daniel - 8 lbs 12 oz

Emma - 8 lbs 12 oz (yes, three 8.12's, pretty consistant, eh?)

Micah - 9 lbs 8 oz

Grace - 8 lbs 5 oz

After having Micah(>9) I really watch what I eat as subsequent babies *can* get bigger. I did very well with Gracie and her weight showed it but man, I have never been pregnant through the holidays like this pregnancy!! It's not fair! I am doing *o.k.* but it is more than my pregnancy with Grace. Today I went in for a check-up and Winni, my midwife, measured me...she looked at the tape...then measured me again and said "Wow, he had a bit of a growth spurt there".

I was just measured two weeks ago and he has already had a "growth spurt"? So, is that supposed to ease those nightmares I have been having about giving birth again?

I think not.

Hmmm....um....back to cottage cheese and eggs.
