Free Night at the Witte








Every Tuesday Night is Free Night at the Witte Musueam of Natural History here. We finally took advantage of that a few weeks back while Jeff was on a break from school. We didn't get a lot of pictures and the ones we did take aren't great becuase we couldn't use the flash inside.



Our favorite part of the Museum was the section for kids! It was great. There were musical pipes that you could play songs with flip flops on them, and pulleys, and magnets and lots of hoses creating pressure with stream of fast air, and there was a weather station with a green screen, and a rock climbing wall. But best of alll...



was the H.E.B sponsored(local grocery store) Skycycle! It was pretty cool. It was a bicycle you could ride on top of a rope 25 feet or so in the air. Jeff stood in line with a couple little kids to get to ride. That's how cool it was.

The Baby and the Belly







Here's a quick post to show how much baby Abigail is growing. She is now 3 pound 10 ounces, and right smack in the 50th percentile. And she has chubby cheeks. It has been fun to watch her get bigger, and go from her skeletal profile where you can see her bone structure to now being able to see her chubby little facial features, and see her put her hands over her face or to watch her fists fly on the screen at the same time as she punches me. She is following the growth curve perfectly, and her heart rate has been in the 140s for about 2 months now. I still take a bunch of medicine, but it no longer makes me sick or dizzy. Our bodies are pretty amazing how they adapt. She is 32 weeks now, and I can't imagine how big I will get if she is still going to double in size before she is born!!

My last day of work was this past Monday, and so I have plenty of time to "build a nest" as Jeff calls it. I can't wait to hold her in my arms and see her in full color. We feel so blessed that she is doing so well.
