Our buddy Evelyn is a curious, clingy full on toddler now. She asks to “walk” rather than stroll. She finally sleeps well (Thanks PLS) and she throws brief but high pitched tantrums that end with her dramatically draped on the floor or covering her eyes as if to cry and shouting “oh boo!” in protest.

I think she is beautiful, inquisitive and gentle.

But in there, there is a strong adventurer, who is loves to climb, jump and run on her own

E and I process pregnancy together including the obligatory UA at every OB visit. I’m about 20 weeks here, up about 10# and feelings generally normal. My boobs itch like mad as they expand and I’ve just started to feel kicks of boy baby, which helps to make this real and reassuring that it’s not just the Cornerstone burgers.
