Oh well. Hopefully I can make up for that right here and now.
I'd like for you to meet the newest member of our little family, our daughter Lillian, who I'm due with in October:
Estimated due date is October 9th, but it'll be interesting to see when she finally decides to make her arrival. 10/9 is actually 9 months to the day from my due date with Jude (this actually makes me smile for some reason) and the rest of the month is filled with lots of other birthdays and anniversaries, so it'll be interesting to see if she lands on one or is able to carve out her very own date. Some people have asked me if I want to share my birthday (10/18) with her--let me just tell you that if I'm still pregnant on 10/18, I'm probably going to be one huge, uncomfortable pregnant woman BEGGING for her child to make an appearance. LOL
This past Saturday marked 21 weeks, so I'm officially the most pregnant I've ever been. It's kinda funny to think that from here on out it is all new pregnancy territory for me. Lillian started it off with a bang, too--literally! When we were over at my dad's house on Sunday we felt our first "outside kicks" which continue to make me smile and laugh out loud.
I know there will be a point that I just want her to settle down, let me sleep, and the kicks will get painful--but for now I'm just loving every single minute of this.

CONGRATS!!! I love to hear good news. I'm glad you shared. Best wishes to you! D Franny : )
Congrats, how wonderful.
Princess, everytime I read of your pregnancy, I get excited all over again. 2009 was pretty much a "shit sandwich" (perfect description) for us here, too...what with Danny's adventures in the Cardiac and Cancer units of City Hospital and Cleveland Clinic, but for the past month, since our two newest babies arrived, life has taken on such a lovely glow and reason for going on! I hope I get a chance one of these days to see you a)pregnant, and b)newly "mommied". It is inspiring to know that your generation has not given up on our world and has enough faith to continue to have babies...I'd love to have a "babies together" party for all of you this summer (I know, you aren't due for a while yet, but it might be a fun preview!) The Horn girls, the Gonis girls, the Markovich girls....what a gorgeous group! So happy and excited for you...enjoy this wonderful time. ~julie horn, lovinthisgrannybiz :)
I was just thinking that I needed a report from you... and still do, but wandering over here, reading this, seeing this again made me smile broadly. Thanks for posting, Maynan.

Hey just catching up with your news now -- hope you are feeling great and looking forward to your girl's arrival very soon!
