We just wanted to send a little update. Things are going great - only 1 more week until we kick off the 3rd Trimester. Time is flying! I am still feeling good and Baby C is definitely moving all the time. Kirk and I have been walking Jazzy twice a day and going the gym a few times a week. It is good for baby and I to stay active. Kirk has been traveling here and there but, that should slow down very soon (fingers crossed). He has some new hires that have started over the last couple weeks so hoping they get trained and ready to take on the projects soon. I have been keeping busy still searching for employment...would love to find one where I can work from home. I have lots of resumes out. It is a pretty tough market. Please keep me in mind if you hear of anything full or even part time. I have a few brides that sent me e-mails stating they are interested in calligraphy services so hoping to get some business soon. Please remember to pass on my Etsy store link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kmkramer50
We are still working on the baby's room. We have almost all furniture in...just need to get a couple more things, hang curtains and work on wall decor that we have planned. Sorry, no pics of room until we are finished. We are hoping to have it complete by the baby shower. We are very excited about the baby shower on June 19th...the invitations are just adorable. Thanks to all of you that are planning/helping with the shower. We have the best family/friends ever! We are very excited to see everyone and share in the excitement of meeting our little bundle of joy.
This week, Baby C likely weighs about 2 lbs. and is about 14 1/2 inches long (head to toe). He/She is sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his/her eyes, and maybe even sucking his/her thumb. Since more brain tissue is developing, his/her brain is more active now. While his/her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning - with a lot of medical help - if he/she were born now. The rhythmic movements I sometimes feel are baby hiccups, and they may be common from now on. This is what Baby Cooper looks like this week:

We went to the to the Grand Opening Celebration of The Dr. P. Phillips Baby Place at Winter Park Memorial Hospital this past Sunday 5/2. It was amazing. We are so impressed...the Baby Place is completely new and the rooms are very nice. We enjoyed touring everything and we got to see Dr Snook which is always a treat. It was a great opportunity to see everything before the Baby Place is in use. Starting on May 8th the Baby Place will be open in time for babies to be born on Mother's Day. They had all kinds of fun things for us during tour - information, food (mini-cupcakes from Sweets were yummy), pictures, and even chair massages which Kirk and I both enjoyed. We have our birthing classes this Wednesday and we are looking forward to that. We have our next check-up appt on 5/14 with Dr. Krishingner and this is our first time meeting him.
Thank you all your support and love! Here is a picture of me at now at 27 weeks...I did self timer so its not the best but, gives you an idea that Baby C is growing! ;o)
XOXO
Adorable! You have that pregnant woman's glow about you :) Thanks for the updates, it's so exciting to hear all that's going on with you, Kirk and Baby C. Can't wait to meet him/her :)
