Kick Dog-base Ball

We are now in week 22. Our girl continues to grow reaching between 10-12 inches in length, about half of what she will be at birth! Her canines and molars are starting to develop as hardened tissue in her gums. Her eyes are developed, but the irises have no color. She is exploring the womb by touching everything, and I can tell you some days she is very busy! My favorite fact this week is that she now has a full set of neurons and can now process everything she learns. She now weighs a pound, that seems so big! I am feeling okay, a little sore from all the stretching going on. I still have a belly button, but it is slowly disappearing. The day it is gone will be a weird one.
It was a busy weekend here, hence the late post. We spent Saturday working on our baby registry and getting a lot of that done. When I got home the Triplett kids were over to play with the dogs. This is where the title comes in. Travis (9) was swinging and I was tossing a tennis ball at him to kick. We started to joke about needing bases and the next thing we knew we had developed a game. Milo was first base, Ally was second and Kodak was third. John was over by this point and had also joined in. Travis' mom Jana came out and his four year old sister Evie joined in whenever an extra player was needed. We did not keep score, just outs. It was really a lot of fun as our bases would run away, try to grab the ball or run towards the pitcher. I did have the unfair advantage of having Kodak and Milo follow me constantly, but that is okay because I could not run as quickly as the others. It was a lot of fun and wore us all out. Sunday was catching up on some rest and working on painting. The dogs and I did play with the kids again. I got the kids to "help" me bathe them, so we got clean dogs out of that deal. The nursery is 90% done, just need to touch up the white stripes (not the band).
Next weekend we head to Minnesota to visit the Olson's and Mary and Earl. So we will try to post from the road. Have a good week!
