…this is how Mommy and Connor spend time together.

Victoria is trying to find Connor’s heartbeat.  I’ve been trying to find his heartbeat with that listening device since week 24 with NO LUCK.  This was Victoria’s attempt.

She’ll love me for putting these pics online.  Come on, how many times am I gonna get a picture of “Princess Victoria” looking like this.

I love you, baby!

Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve. Victoria, Connor, and I stayed home and I actually stayed awake for the ball drop. Probably the first time in about 3 or 4 years I have done that. Usually Victoria wakes me just before the ball drops and then I go back to bed.

Here is a picture of Victoria today.

And one of her on Christmas morning with one of Connor’s Christmas gifts from my Mom.

Victoria (and Connor) continue to grow. We both thought her stomach was pretty big but in the past 4-5 days, I have noticed that it has grown even larger. Victoria started to feel some kicks in the upper middle section of her belly this week. She wondered if it was the baby positioning himself, but the nurse during our birthing class said it was a little early for that. It has been a little cold lately and it is dark quite early now, so Victoria and I haven’t had much of a chance to get out and take a walk. We did manage to take two walks today (1.5 miles each) — one in the morning and one during this afternoon.

As far as the lonely husband part…

Thomas (the orange cat) continues to be with Victoria no matters where she goes. He sleeps in between us on top of Victoria’s snoogle. If I am laying on Victoria’s lap while watching TV, Thomas finds a way to snuggle up with her and make it uncomfortable for me. I joke with Victoria and say that Thomas is her new boyfriend. He is definitely one loving cat and we are so happy that we brought him inside (from being a stray). Hopefully once the baby comes, all three will adjust fine. We believe they will because they have adjusted well to one another.

Here is Victoria on Sept 28, 2007 at Va Beach:

Here she is tonight:

Back by popular demand…more belly pics.

These were taken today and as you can see, she is showing quite a bit.

Some are suggesting there are twins and one of them has been hiding during the ultrasounds.

Victoria has some water gain and some of her pants and skirts don’t fit. She is not thrilled about this. 🙂
