Everything is running smoothly in the Cherian house. I had a doctor appointment today and learned that all is well. I am at 24 weeks and 6 days and my belly measures 25 centimeters. According to the doctor that is "perfect" as it should be at one centimeter per week right now.
The little guy has continued to move about quite a bit--especially when I'm not moving about. He is particularly busy at night. Although, it continues to be mostly flutters I have felt a couple more solid, clear movements.
We had visitors over the weekend which brought some much needed excitement to our house. My mom, sister (Cindy), 2 nieces (Reed and Tegan) and a nephew (Rian) all came to hang out with us and see Seattle. We enjoyed a trip to NW Trek to see the bison, elk, bears, etc. and dined at the Spaghetti Factor in downtown Seattle. Our house just seemed warmer and cozier with all those bodies here and kids just liven things up so much! Juan was going a bit nutty by the end of the weekend as he isn't used to the noise or running around. It was good practice.

We are slowly working on getting the baby's room set up, knowing that we have some time. My brother and his wife (Randy and Char) gave us a crib that originally belonged to my sister for her kids. So, our baby will be the 5th family baby to sleep in this crib. We've had some challenges getting it put together as all the pieces are still making their way up here from the farm, but I think after we make one more trip to the hardware store it should all fit together. We are delighted to accept donations from others who have older children that don't use certain items any longer. That'll help everyone save money, space and remain green conscious so we don't have to go out and buy new stuff.
My students remain excited and supportive. Those with younger siblings love to share baby stories and a few of them have been sharing lists of boy names. It has been so much fun sharing this with them!
Another long day today means that I'm exhausted and heading to bed shortly.
