Week 24/25: Still Incubating…

Sorry that I'm so late in getting out this update--I'm going to try and kill two weeks with one post. The good news is that Tommi (or "Inca," as her dad has nicknamed her--it's short for "Incubator") is doing well, and the baby is still cooking. Every week we can say that is a good week. We are also very happy to have Gracie back from her Aunt Lisa and Uncle Trevor's house. In the week that she was gone, she took swimming lessons, figured out that she likes black beans, adapted to a 8:30 - 9:00 bedtime (woohoo), and grew a couple of inches (or so it seems). Thanks Lisa!! All this while we enjoy the plethora of meals that my mom cooked us before she left. Hmmm…if everyone's willing to parent our child and cook our meals for us, maybe I should go on bedrest after Tommi's done… On second thought, maybe it's best that we stop being mooches as soon as possible.

Tommi has become an Ensign guru over the past few weeks, so I will leave you with a maxim of Elder Holland that she showed me a few days ago: "No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won’t make it worse." How true--whatever happens in life, you can always take a step back and quickly realize how blessed you are (which is usually followed by a feeling of guilt for ever complaining the first place).

Till Week 26…

We sure miss Gracie! She is so full of life! And by the way, it's brown beans she likes!

If cooking more meals will keep that baby incubating, I'll come again! Hang in there, Tommi!
