This week the exhaustion seemed to be at its worst. I can't really say that it's because I'm chasing after a 2 year old either. Andrew is more than amazing when it comes to taking over all parental duties, so that I can rest. I have four students that began summer research with me which requires a lot of hands-on help and going up and down steps. I'm also walking Claire to daycare again in the morning in addition to my evening walk with Molly. I've had a little more nausea from time to time this past week, but nothing too bad. This baby is quite active now moving frequently everyday. Tomorrow is the big day when we go for an ultrasound. Andrew is guessing the baby is a boy and my final guess is a girl. Hopefully, we'll see.
This afternoon when I was getting ready to leave to get my hair cut, we asked Claire if she wanted to kiss the baby (meaning my belly). She didn't show an interest until Andrew kissed my belly. Then she asked me to kiss her belly (which I did) and then she wanted to kiss my belly. So, there was a lot of kissing going on and a lot of "love you, Momma. Love you, Daddy. Love you, baby" which was adorable.

My cousin, John, graduated from high school this past Friday, so we went to a reception in his honor today. We had a great time even though Claire was without a nap. Hence the passed out photo at the end of this post. She was out cold on the drive home. (We obviously need to tighten her shoulder straps again because she seems to work her way out of them which is not very safe.)
