Today marks the beginning of Week 33 for Erin, Lentil, and me.  Only 7 more weeks to go!  Give or take.

Below is the most recent growing picture.  To see the time-lapse, click here.

Week 33

Last weekend, Lentil had her first baby shower.  It was in Indianapolis thrown by my Aunt Stephanie (thanks, Stephanie!) and seemed like a really fun time.  This weekend, she had her baby shower with the Green Bay side of the family.  It was really nice of so many people to come in, and I certainly appreciated that Erin planned it to coincide with a Packers game.

The Hostest with the Mostest

That’s the only baby shower picture I have.  But I have plenty of Packers tailgating!

Lentil is 30 weeks tomorrow!  Yeah!  I just had a doc’s appt that went very well…. besides my platelet count being a bit low, everything is normal and uneventful!  (Knock on wood.)

Here are some fun Lentil facts:
– She weighs about 3 lbs (though her Mom has gained about 20)
– She is about 16 inches long
– Broccoli is her least favorite food.  (I plug my nose when eating it.)
– She hates the smell of coffee (sorry for any visitors – no coffee brewing allowed in the Linville condo!) and cigarette smoke (no surprise there!)
– She is most active right before her parents’ bed time.  She is also active in the early morning, if I don’t get up right away for a walk, stretch or really lame work-out on the elliptical. 
– She’s getting so strong that I can sometimes see my belly shake when she rolls, jabs or kicks.  However, I don’t think she’ll be strong enough to force my belly button out (to Jordan’s dismay).

And, that’s pretty much as exciting as life gets when you are negative 10 weeks old.  Have a good day!

While I know that there are MUCH more productive things I could and should be doing tonight, I could not stop the impulsive urge to create this baby shirt (shout out to Tom Doar for the slogan).   This is my first creation, and I think I will stop while I’m ahead.

Coolest baby shirt ever?  Perhaps.

If you would like to be Lentil’s coolest aunt or uncle, you can buy it for $17.95 on Zazzle

Lentil got herself a new glider today.  Pop and Gigi (aka Bill & Kathy) had said they wanted to buy us a new glider, but this deal was just too good to pass up.  $60 for a $350 glider on Craigslist!  We are rocking Craigslist (no pun intended).  First a crib, then a changing table, and now a glider.  So maybe not quite as pricey a gift as expected, but thanks Pop and Gigi!

Here is Lentils future crib!

Hi Friends and Family,
Welcome to LinvilleUSA, home of our new blog! This is where you can go for the all the latest happenings of Erin, Jordan, and Lentil (our yet-to-be named baby).

To update you on Lentil, s/he turns 19 weeks old tomorrow! Hooray! That means the little girl/guy is probably almost 6 inches long and weighing in at an impressive 7 oz. They say that the baby responds to “external stimuli,” meaning that someone touches Erin’s stomach, the baby will respond and squirm away. And let me tell ya, people do indeed try to touch Erin’s stomach.

Happy reading!
