"Roger or Cutie-that's what you should name the baby"

So my 8 y/o nephew Keeton tells me this week that he thinks that I should name the baby "Roger or Cutie"-even spelling "Cutie" for me so I could be sure to get it right. I asked him where he got the names and he said "My friend Riley's dad is named Roger and he's a nice man and Cutie because little baby girls are cute.

So there you have it, Keeton has spoken.

We're now 27 weeks pregnant!! This is our last week of the 2nd trimester-where have the last 28 weeks gone??

"This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle."

Matt felt the baby kick this week-he's "kind of" felt it before but wasn't really sure. Normally when I tell him to come over and put his hand on my stomach the baby stops moving-much to Matt's dismay. One night this week we were laying in bed and our baby must have been practicing up on their tumbling and kick boxing-tons of movement. So I grabbed Matt's hand and put it right on my stomach where most of the movement was happening-pretty soon this nice hard kick happened-Matt's face was priceless! I'm not sure who had the bigger smile-Matt feeling the kick or me seeing Matt's expression. Either way...I'll never forget it.
