They all multiply really fast. Faster than you might expect. Of course, rabbits just breed like... well, rabbits. My 8th graders are supa' stah's when it comes to mental math (they really don't even need calculators). And the Perkins' multiply. You see,
We're pregnant! Or, more accurately, Alison is pregnant. We found out a couple weeks ago, and have made the big announcement over the Thanksgiving holiday. So some of the details:
- Alison is about 11 weeks along. We'll go in this next week for the next checkup. I'll post the ultra sound then.
- Alison's due in June, which means we'll be hanging out in Bahrain for the summer. We have heard rumors that, once many expats vacate after school lets out, things are pretty dead here. It'll be nice to have a quiet summer.
- Last pregnancy, I gained some sympathy weight. I think it would be unrealistic to keep from sympathizing at ALL this time around, but a little less sympathy might be in order.
- Eva is also very excited. She'll be giving up her crib for the big girl bed come July when its time for baby II to move into the bedroom.
- Eva's room is no longer 1/2 baby room and 1/2 office. It is now completely children's room.
Here's some more info about the pregnancy this particular week:
- Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed
- The hands will soon open and close into fists
- Tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gum
- Some of her bones are beginning to harden
- She's/he's already busy kicking and stretching, and the tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as his/her body grows and becomes more developed and functional.
