Here he is below with various points of interest pointed out. We thought it was very sweet of Jumpy to provide all these labels, and his understanding of English at a mere 30 weeks is quite remarkable.
This one here is a photo of Jumpy at 26 weeks.
Next, here are some photos of Mommy. Kathy's torso's circumference is 47" at 30 weeks. The doctor mentioned that she's the size of a woman carrying a singleton at 36 weeks.
As you may or may not know, we have 3 pets. Two cats, one dog. What's interesting is Ginger, kitty #2, has been utterly fascinated with Kathy since she began her pregnancy. I have heard that animals have a sense about these things. Ginger's been very needy and has taken to laying on top of Kathy's tummy and purring to the babies. We believe that Ginger was taken away from his mother a little too early in his developmental stages; he has many allergies that would seem to indicate that he did not receive enough nutrients from his mother before being separated. Then again, he was a pound kitty, so who knows.
All that being said, here's a cute photo of Ginger and Kathy napping:
Kathy's feeling very good today, although Ginger currently seems to be barfing on the rug. I'm so proud.
Also, please keep my cousin Brian Swanson in your thoughts and prayers as he battles his colon and liver cancer. If you've seen the movie "A Civil Action" then you know the cause. But he's just 34, married to another wonderful Kathy and an extremely cute baby daughter. He's in our prayers...please add him to yours.
All the best,
Joe
