Happy Valentine's Day!

Gabby has a gift from her Nanny and G.G. waiting to be opened this morning.  Thank you both for the thoughtful gifts! It will make her Valentine's Day special.  She will have a second Valentine's Day when Michael and I celebrate with her in a few weekends.

P.S. I you are curious I made this free on Picasa. I just took a picture and added the hearts and made it look like a Polaroid to have plenty of room for my personalized message.  If you want you little one to "blow kisses" make it a fun game.  Gabby is actually blowing a leaf out of her hand.

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.

A Fun Filled Christmas Season
