I will start this post saying how excited I had been this year to not only to be having our our baby but the additions of several little family members that would be the same age as our wigglemonster. That being said most all my family is aware of the heartbreaking loss we had in April of our beautiful little nephew Julian, so I must say how greatful I am that my sister-in-law Kendra was in the hospital at the time that little Xander decided to make an early entrance on Friday at 32 weeks. 
So although he is tiny and in a NICU until he gets to a healthier size I am very happy that we did not suffer another unbearable loss in our family. I'm still so heartsore over the loss of Julian I'm certain another loss would have turned me into a quivering mass of jell-o. But since I am still pregnant & worries keep adding up we have since Friday given wiggle many lectures that even though his older cousin did it he is not allowed to leave his womb (at least until he is actually term). I'm sure he's listening.
The latest news about wiggle: last week Jason actually got to feel our wigglemonster kick- Jason didn't say anything before I placed his hand on my stomach so I think wiggle was not aware it was his daddy until it was too late. Our childbirth classes are going well, and we are learning lots of things including that the placenta may be the grossest looking thing on the planet (really I love the birthing videos-they don't make you the slightest bit panicky about childbirth, nope not at all). So I'm still getting pretty big as you can see: 
but I won't complain about that since everything else is going good- no I don't have gestational diabetes & my blood pressure is great & I actually still have a belly button at this point (amazing I know). See things are okay, I won't even complain about all the leaning wiggle is doing lately- even the leaning against my hipbone that makes me walk like Igor- yep things are okay.
