baby news
* Congratulations to Bob and Michelle and Caleb! Can we say big brother?
* 
You may have noticed a few things from the pictures of my three curly-headed friends. What is most striking initially is their shared point of beauty in having curly goldilocks. The next thing you might notice is that they're all girls. Three curly-headed girls. Well, folks, last night Curly-Head #4 entered the world, and it's a boy!!! I totally called it!! We only got to see him through the nursery window briefly last night as we took the girls for a quick hello to their mama and new baby brother. He doesn't have much in the way of hair right now, but chances are good that it will be blond and curly. So these next few days will be full of Curly-headed Fun for me.
* I think I felt my first Braxton Hicks yesterday. I was running all over campus and then when I sat down for lunch, I felt an uncomfortable tightening that felt like it couldn't be a kick or a jive or a boy lodged in a weird place. Later it occurred to me that that's what it could be, and after checking the book, it's one of things one can expect in the seventh month.

Yeah, those contractions are a blast! They're tougher 2nd time around. Mine are downright annoying. I can't get anything done sometimes. The bathtub has become the last resort. It's crazy how these pregnancies of ours have flown by!
That's so cool that your friends had a boy. My aunt had 4 boys before she had two girls. She waited and waited. That's why I'm super glad I'm having a girl on my 2nd try!

J, I think you'll enjoy the 7th month. It seems like you start getting a little bit of energy back, and you look so cute in preggo clothes, and the belly is entertaining, etc. etc.
I won't say anything about the 8th month and on... except... uh, just enjoy the 7th, okay? ;)
