Two updates about our family-kinda long
First, for all who read about our concerns for Ben's weight at 9 months, he had his weight check at the peds office this week and is officially back on the growth charts-17 lbs, 6 ozs now! Yes!!
Second, for all who read about how close is too close in age, we decided to go for it and should be meeting with expectant mom after her doctor appointment-where she will find out for sure her due date and if it is one or two babies. Nothing set in stone yet, and not officially matched, but certainly moving in that direction! We're not getting too excited or attached to the idea just yet. But, either way, we're officially on the journey to number 2 (or maybe 2 and 3). If this expectant mom decides to parent or whatever, we'll be waiting again.
