Our favorite people from Chicago!!

Becky & Dan brought Madison a gift
2 adorable outfits and a new book!

We spent the day at Balboa Park, people watching and doing a little shopping

Dinnertime at the Corvette Diner

We were so excited to spend the weekend with Becky & Dan. Since they live in Chicago, we don't get to see them very often, but each time we do it's such a blast! Deven & Dan are such good sports, since they get to put up with us girls... when we get together, we get a little obnoxious, reminiscent and very giggly (especially Becky). We spent the weekend eating at all their favorite CA eateries. From Old Town Mexican Cafe (yummm), to In N Out and of course Del Taco. Since Dan LOVES In N Out so much, we actually went there 2 days in a row... while he enjoyed his burger the rest of us enjoyed some Del! We were so sad to see them leave, but we can't wait until they come visit again!

Week 21

Our baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a banana. It's starting to feel like she's practicing martial arts since her initial fluttering movements are turning into full-fledged kicks and nudges. I've also started to discover a pattern to her activity as each day passes.
Interesting information... Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, I need to think about what I want my little girl to eat as I prepare my own lunch.
