Week 18: Almost Half-Way There

So, being that this is baby #5, I'm trying very hard to remember all the things you are supposed to do while pregnant with your new bundle of joy. Today I remembered that we should probably get a pregnant mommy picture soon.

When I look back through all the baby books, it's obvious which child appeared on the scene first. Justin's book is full of everything you can think of, even baby firsts that we just came up with on our own. Caleb's isn't too bad...I think I only omitted the less important things. Emma and Erin have the most incomplete books...I confess that I really don't know when about 95% of their teeth broke through the surface or how many first times they did, well anything, but I managed to keep up on all the major milestones, like what order they ate baby food (I saved all the first labels of each food...OK, so I had a lot of time on my hands), the order of states traveled, and everyone's first holidays, complete with pictures and cards, and a monthly picture from month one to twelve. I also am proud to say that everyone's books are complete with their little dried nubbies (umbilical cords...I know...), pacifiers and coming home from the hospital outfits...and many more other things. I guess I haven't done too badly.

I'm much more busy now then ever, and I'm a little concerned that this child will grow up to find that his/her mommy slighted him in his pre and post arrival history. Well, I guess I'm off to a good start today.
