Poll in the Sidebar

There has been some debate as to how to spell the baby's name. The results of this poll do not necessarily determine our decision (i.e. I don't know how to block Dusty from skewing the vote), but we're curious what others think. If you're reading this in an email subscription, click any of the links in the email to get to my blog at http://corningfamily.blogspot.com, and cast your vote in the poll on the left side of the page.

Some Recent Pictures

I had no idea that our driveway was this filthy! Dusty likes his new pressure washer, and our driveway looks like new.

Lily picked out her own clothes on this day. Purple bow and all.

Ahh, Date Night! We went to a local restaurant/bar to see Major Praise and the Horsemen. Click here for a short clip from their show. We had an awesome time!

Eating brownies for Mommy's birthday.

Lily has recently started "reading" books to her animals and dolls. Very cute. This particular book, I think she could probably recite from memory. We have so many books for her to read, but she definitely has a few favorites.

Belly Pictures - 28 Weeks

New belly pictures, taken on Monday at 28 weeks 1 day...

The next picture shows why I haven't been taking pictures of my belly as often this time - it's not all round! My belly goes straight out from the middle, like I'm carrying a watermelon vertically. It does not look like a basketball. Which is totally fine, but it's not as cute as a basketball belly.
Click here to see the previous belly photos. My belly is definitely getting bigger, and so is the rest of me. I might look like I have chipmunk cheeks after I gain 15 more pounds! Gaining the weight isn't the problem, knowing that I'll have to quit eating refrigerated milky way candy bars to lose the weight is the problem. Refrigerated milky way = happy pregnant lady. Hopefully that craving goes away when the baby is born...

Prenatal Visit - 28 Weeks

I had another routine checkup with my doctors today. I had another ultrasound to check the baby's growth; Dylan weighs about 2 lb 7 oz, which is in the 41st percentile, right on track. He is breech, but of course it doesn't really matter since I'll have a c-section. I go back to see the doctors in two weeks, and I learned today that I'll be having weekly ultrasounds and fetal monitoring starting at 32 weeks. I'm so excited about that! Today we didn't get any good pictures because the cord was in front of his face, but I'm sure I'll get a better look next time. So this means only one more regular old office visit; after that one, there will be ultrasounds and monitoring every week until Dylan is born at 37 weeks. This is starting to feel very close. Maybe I should think about starting to wash the baby clothes and get things put away in the nursery!

Trampoline

Lily loves to jump! She was so excited when Daddy set up her new trampoline... She kept saying, "It's a trampoline for LILY!"

Cutie

Look what we picked up at the store!

This is one of my favorite recent pictures of Lily... One of the first few times she wore her hair in pigtails long enough for a photo!

Pudding Pops

We made pudding pops a couple of weeks ago. Easy and fun! Click here for the recipe from Kraft Foods.
