On friday we had our 25 week appointment. Everything was fantastic. The midwives were quite pleased that I had gained 8 lbs this month and am now measuring right on target (last month I was a bit too small for their liking). It’s quite easy to gain 8 lbs when you have two servings of ice cream a day. Here are some videos from our Friday adventuring.

After our appointment we picked up Shelly and Rowan and went over to my parent’s house for a little bbq. To test our own parenting abilities, we found as many ways as possible to laugh uncontrollably at a toddler. Spinning turned out to work the best. Here are Jon and Shelly taking little nugget on a spinning adventure.

Here my dad got a little training of his own. Taking Rowan for a shoulder ride, he got a good taste of the next few summers. Rowan finally decides that the shoulder ride is no where near as exciting as spinning so he requests help on a dismount and spins again. This time I’m the spinner! Once Rowan realized how much we enjoyed a laugh at his expense he began to just walk and fall on his own. What a little ham.

On Saturday Jon’s oh so generous mom took me shopping for a whole new maternity wardrobe. I managed to get a whole bunch of items that will serve me well for the remainder of this pregnancy. Thanks Janet!!! Here you can see that Jon got a little taste of what it might be like to have a 6 month pregnant belly. I think he looks quite dashing…and lumpy!
