Birthdays and baby belly

Madeline's 7th birthday is the 18th!!! I cannot believe how big she is getting. She reads entire books, makes her own sandwiches, sews on a sewing machine, and the other day loaded the dishwasher. Sigh... Where did my baby go?










Her birthday party is on the 15th and she is really excited to decorate cupcakes and have a treasure hunt.

Now to the belly. It is growing. Today I am 27 weeks and 1 day. We are not finding out the sex so this will be our first surprise baby! We are still meeting with our midwife once a month and soon will move to twice a month. Once the holidays are over I can concentrate on getting the house ready for a new baby and getting all the homebirth supplies.

So here it is 27w 1d.

And something to leave you with. This is Micheal a month or so ago when he was sick:
