Anyone who has been to Newport with the Harding/Kelly clan during the month of July knows something about overcrowding - there are usually 2 people for every bed and chair in the place. Today I took Peter to see Dr. Luxemburg and Dr. Lux mentioned that tomorrow is July 1st. Peter immediately yelled "Yes, Newport is in 18 days." So he told Dr. Luxemburg that he could come to Newport with us but Uncle Pat sleeps late on the couch so he would have to sleep on the porch with Auntie Karla. To explain a little Karla had mentioned that she was calling the porch to sleep on as a joke because we are going to be so crowded and apparently if Dr. Lux takes Peter up on his offer to join us he will be out there with Auntie Karla.
Peter is doing great - he grew an inch in three months so apparently my hope that his school clothes will fit in the fall is just a dream. He is 57 inches and he weighs 82 pounds. He lost another few pounds so we are going to be watching that a little bit more carefully along with his sugars. He has a healthy appetite and eats surprsingly healthy so I'm not all that worried but pediatricians never like to see a consistent weight loss in kids Pete's age. Annie still has her ear infections so we are switching to ANOTHER antibiotic - this is our third! Then we will start to talk about more serious resolutions. Mama's not thinking about that yet!
Bob and Patrick held their end of the season pizza party for baseball tonight. We didn't realize that siblings were not invited so we all showed up - men never seem to get all the info to their wives. Lucky for me I was not the only one who did not get the info so there were lots of other moms and siblings but I was mortified at first! Either way we had a nice time and the kids really enjoyed it!

Small pregnancy update (so as not to forget our littlest one) - Caroline has shifted positions and is now head down and feet up and so when she kicks it is right up against my lungs - I was feeling this shortness of breath and getting a bit nervous so they did a quick ultrasound of my kidneys to check for fluid and instead it was my baby girls first act of rebellion. On the ultrasound they could see her push off of the bottom of my uterus with her hands and hurl herself toward my diaphram and give me a good whack. All day I kept replaying that imagine in my head and smiling - how is it possible to love something - sorry, someone - so incredibly much that you have never met or seen! My mom is going to make fun of me for that bit of mushiness!
GNM - ILY!
