New Belly Shots Week's 27 and 29

Sara and I have both been traveling for our jobs so I am a bit tardy on uploading belly pics.  This last week we were both in Vegas for the International Erosion Control Assn conference - I know it sounds like a blast right???? ha!

Since neither of us are much on gambling, we kept our money in our pockets.  We did go to a Cirque du Soleil show, Mystere, at Treasure Island which was unbelievably cool and I totally recommend it for anyone wanting to see a show in Vegas.  Even though every seat in the house was great, we had 1st row seats.  They must have somehow picked me out in the beginning because I ended up being picked on all night and then finally drug into the show wearing a humiliating baby costume which, of course, was fitting because we in fact are pregnant.   Needless to say, my new name is Papa :)

Week 27 on the left; Week 29 on the right

It almost looks like baby is bigger in week 27 than he is in week 29 but he is not so pics can be deceiving.  Sara might tell you it has to do with her salt intake or how the baby is situated on her plumbing inhibiting her food from expeditiously moving through her system (if you catch my drift).  Evidently, this is an issue with pregnant women and milk of magnesia is not on the approved list of safe things to ingest while pregnant.  Ok enough of that.....!

We have found out that baby Hayden loves Michael Jackson and dance music like Zumba and anything with a beat.  He has been kicking mommy with a foot out to the side and so hard that it startles her; and if her arms are at her side, she can feel the kick on the inside of her arm.  He is also expanding mommy's already small frame, especially her ribs, which is making mommy uncomfortable and achy especially in her back on the right side.  Also, mommy's legs are swelling so she has gotten some pregnancy compression tights and stockings.  Since she was on her feet all this last week her whole leg swelled so when she got home she put on an ace bandage and elevated her legs.  Once she was able to exercise, the swelling went down because it got her blood and lymph system flowing. 

It looks like the showers are scheduled for some time in April - I think it is like the 13th or 15th or something.  Since I am not going, it isn't on my calendar :).  We have gotten some cool toys and lots of clothes from Craigs List for infants BEFORE they become toddlers and destroy the knees of their pants and soil their cloths.  My niece, Shandal, gave us her crib which is totally cool and it is only a year old! She also gave us some 2-3-4T clothes which are hand-me-downs from her little boy Deagen.

Which leads me to this question; if Shandal is my niece, are her son, Deagen, and daughter, Dalyn, my nephew and niece too? and is her hubby Devin my nephew in-law?  Oh how confusing.  Maybe one of my faithful 4 followers of this little blog of ours can help me with this dilemma.
