Getting bored with the pregnant mama status and decided we should include papa, too.  He has been working hard to take good care of me and the Bean.

Aaron & Steph (about 25 weeks pregnant)

One of his favorite pastimes is monitoring my diet and weight gain.  Lately, he likes to compare my morning weight with my evening weight, which can vary by as much as 4-5 pounds.  Of course, we only use the morning weigh-ins to see how much I am actually gaining throughout the pregnancy.  Nevertheless, it is impressive to see how much it varies within a 12-14 hour period: after dinner this evening, I weigh 5 pounds more than I did when I woke up this morning!!

As for Little Bean’s status, all is well.  More and stronger movement every day.  Both Aaron and I are still amazed with the concept that there is a person growing in my belly!  It is comforting to feel the Bean moving around in there and know that he/she is growing stronger every day.  Less than 4 months until we get to meet this little person! Wow!
