26 Weeks and Growing...

Here's sweet baby Avery, not so sure that she wants to open her mouth for her green beans. I don't blame her :).
26 weeks. No need to say more :)

The Nursery & 25 Weeks!

So, the previous owners of our house had a Winnie the Pooh Nursery. I know this may be disappointing, but I'm not much of a fan. So, we repainted, moved Thuc's office to this room and then painted Thuc's office to become the nursery. Why you may ask? Well, my reasons were two-fold. 1. Thuc would be forced to go through his things and rid our home of some unnecessary stuff and 2. His office is connected to a bathroom and the Winnie the Pooh room is not. I think Thuc also likes the change.. although maybe not the painting ;) We're fortunate to have a great Brother-in-law who was willing to pitch in his time & talents.

Here we are at 25 weeks. Why has it been a couple of weeks since I took a picture of my belly and posted it? Well, because I'm coming to terms with my weight gain. It's ironic to look back at just 5 weeks ago when I was thinking, "I can't wait til I have an obvious baby bump". Now, I'm thinking, "man, I sure hope it doesn't get much bigger than this!". I keep reminding myself: "what comes on, can come off... what comes on, can come off" :). I'm going to invest in Adobe Photoshop for Christmas so I can do some weight editing in my photos!

Here's Springroll's new Nursery. We're going with a brown/green/white color theme. So far it's pretty much brown.. but we'll get there.

We paid NFM and extra $10 to set up our crib. It was well worth it. They were super quick except for one bolt... which they determined was defective. Had Thuc & I put it together, we would have worked on it for several hours before we would have figured that out! NFM came back the next day with a new bolt & now we're in business! Well.. except for a mattress & baby. :)

Washington, DC

One of Thuc's good friends from residency got married in Washtington DC on the 7th. We decided to visit his family and do some sightseeing as well. This a a picture with Thuc's 96 year old Grandma Mai. She only speaks Vietnamese and is the cutest/sweetest woman.

These are the bones of a 24 week old fetus... and my belly... which also holds a 24 week old fetus :)

The hope diamond!

The capitol... think they're talking about healthcare reform in there??

This is a video of Thuc with his Grandma. He had just got done loading the car with our luggage and so his hands are cold. I think she's trying to warm them up! I smile whenver I watch it.
