Update

Sorry it has been so long, but everything is going very well. Johnny is kicken and happy and healthy. Our next appointment is on the 8th and there at 35 weeks we start going weekly. I am getting more and more afraid of labor. Not of the pain or of the work, but of doing something wrong. I am reading a lot and Pops and I are attending classes, I think I won't be comfortable until it is over and I am holding that tiny buddle in my arms.

We had a wonderful shower last week at Aunt Sue's house in Ohio. We had a lot of fun and everyone was so generous. Johnny is pretty set up now thanks to our thoughtful family and friends. You always feel like there is more you need, but in reality we have bottles and diapers (though we are still confused and have two separate systems) cloths and a crib.

On May 4th at St. Basil's the Great in Brecksville Ohio Johnny will be baptised. My Aunt Cookie is helping us set it up. Aunt Natalie, Uncle Tommy, and Chrissy will be his godparents. We feel very blessed and very excited about this special blessing for Johnny and him having so many people in his life that are there to love him and lead him, towards whatever path he wants.

There is always more to tell. Everyday is a new adventure. I feel huge and every night I laugh at my elephant ankles. I have to use a body pillow and 4 regular pillows to support this adorable 5 pound parasite. My hips ache, my back hurts, I am tired all the time and I have never felt so excited in my life :)
