A month ago during an ultrasound, Baby B was trailing at 2.9 lbs. Baby A, the hog of nutrients, was 3.4 and expected to stay the bigger, more dominant baby. We sort of felt bad for the smaller baby until this week. Apparently she can hold her own, now weighing 4.13... over two pounds in four weeks! Baby A gained exactly one pound, which makes total baby weight over nine pounds. No wonder my back hurts all the time! And they'll keep growing, duh, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall over every time I try to stand up and walk. I guess the bigger they are at birth the better?
Micah's belt exam was last month. She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall. She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys." Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota. Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises. Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break. She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah. They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...
Well yes, but still not fun for you. We missed you tonight at Brian and Abi's. But I totally understand why you might not want to do much but rest.
