Half Way!!! (We Think)

Okay, so many of you have been asking for 'belly' shots. Why, I have no idea. Most of you saw me in various degrees of large household appliance-ness, and I never (to my knowledge) had any belly shots with Em, but to appease the masses, here's what we've got.

As far as we can tell, I'm somewhere between 19 1/2 to 21 weeks pregnant (I'm not holding my breath for the 21). Murray had all the measurements done and is doing well, big, but well. I can't sit without unbuttoning and usually unzipping my pants, which is annoying and slightly embarrassing at times (especially when I forget to redo it all when I stand!). As with Em, we have the sex on a piece of paper but Dr. Baker didn't want us to peek, so its folded to about 2cm x 2 cm and stapled shut twice. Still throwing around names... It seems I need a few months to 'try them on' and see if I like them long-term. Water aerobics is getting harder as my center of gravity has changed, but, thankfully, the few times I still get sick are increasingly rare. Everything about this one seems different, which is leading many people to believe its a boy. Again, we don't know and I'm still hoping for a girl (I have all the cute cloths needed! give me a break!!). Todd wants a boy (but he said that last time when secretly he wanted a girl). Everything seems to be going well and right on track, so thanks for all the prayers! Hopefully, by middle of September, you'll have a named person to pray for, rather than a generic temporary name... who knows, maybe we'll keep Murray... hum...

Half way ... Wow!
My husband were at Flint Central on Monday/Tuesday for District Assembly. Picked up a "post card" with the three Leslie's on it. Going to need to be updated soon! :-)
