24.5 weeks and growing...fast

Our family just threw a baby shower for us on Sunday November 26th. It was a blast! Dang good food, lots of chatty ladies, and at least 4 pregnant women in the bunch. At least we don't think that Andrea is pregnant yet?? Anyways, the belly is quickly expanding along with Steph's appetite. Here's a picture of Becky and Steph touching bellies. They were laughing about how far apart they were standing, while yet still touching. Becky is one month further along than Steph. That's all for now.

22 weeks

Steph is getting over a sinus cold and bronchitis. Baby is still kicking like mad. Just the other day, Steph felt the baby's arm or leg reach up about 2" above the belly button, which is about the highest we've felt the baby this far. I think the baby will come out ready to run a marathon, that's about how active he/she seems to be. By the way, feel free to post whether or not you think this will be a boy or a girl. Aunt Joy says that guaranteed it is a boy. Also, feel free to post any thoughts on whether or not a new baby boy should be named Cornelius. Cory is the 3rd Cornerlius Paul Loewen, and the 6th Cornelius Loewen in a row! Yikes! You'll also notice below that while we were in Churchill, a bunch of local Inuit were able to hoist an entire 6 foot high inukshuk on top of Steph's belly! That gives you an idea of the scale of the belly. Anthony was flabergasted.
