Kevin the Cantaloupe!! Friday is the Big Day!

Omigod. I can’t believe it’s been so long since our last post! Muy sorry! I promise I did not eat my computer, though if it were coated in chocolate, I probably would consider it. Basically the fair and all of it’s goodies (e.g. gyros, cotton candy, grater taters, etc) rolled into town. We had nothing better to do than go there for dinner almost every night. YUM!!! THEN we had our lovely closing week at work. =Horrible!! All the fair eating and closing week of work must have worn out baby mama to the point I didn't post. :)

Last week I was the Mango Mamasita! This week I am Canatloupe girl. I definitely look and feel like I swallowed a cantaloupe!!!!!!!!!
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!


Kevin has still been busy swimming around, jumping, flipping and kicking. Daddy was finally able to feel it two nights ago. Yay! :)

Here’s some pics of Daddy, Kevin the Cantaloupe and I from the weekend of the 7th and 8th:



Belle started school again last week and loves it, so that is great! We're so happy she made lots of new friends on her first day and loves her teacher!

Exciting news from this past weekend, August 15th and 16th, was making our first big baby purchase. Daddy bought Kevin the stroller system we picked out, which was just the tip of the iceberg. Kids are expensive! I forgot how much it costs to outfit a bambino for “take home.” Our stroller is super cute though. You can't really tell from the pic but it's navy blue with white pin stripes, then a bright lime green plaid:
This week I continue to count down the days ‘til Friday (YAYYYY!!!!!!) when we FINALLY find out if Kevin is a Kevin or a Kevinalina. Then I’m sure the name debate will begin again...I’ve kind of missed it in its absence. Ha!

I will let everyone know if it’s a farmboy or farmgirl asap on Friday! It looks like the blog poll still shows a strong chance for a farmboy. :) We'll of course be overjoyed for either!

Mucho love to you all!!
