1st...CONGRATS TO MELANIE AND KEVIN. Mel gave birth last night to lil' Sean Devoe Lombardi. There may be a 3rd middle name in there (before Devoe -- Andrew? -- but that has not been confirmed either way as of yet. I'm waiting to call her until today and I'm hoping I get the blessiing to go see the babe sometime today or this weekend. So excited. Kevin told Mike the kid weighed 8.5lb, but we'll see. He did come 3 days before her EDD, so yay for lil' Lombardi on being more than punctual!
2nd...my hernia is killing me. It actually stopped me in my tracks twice yesterday and resulted in my cabbing all the way home instead of me making my usual shlep to the metro. Hoping laying down would take the pain away, but nope. I plan to call the doc today.
3rd...today is our fetal echo at 3pm. Trying not to be nervous and will update everyone as soon as we have some details.
4th...4th of July...yes, it's a bit late, but I have pics from the weekend. Nothing too exciting but it was a fun weekend. We went to the sculpture garden on July 3rd with Tia Carmen and her friends and then to the Air Force Memorial on July 4th with some of our friends and nephew Nicolas to watch the fireworks. Pics:

Xander is now 1/2 way through his 24th week of gestation and here's what is supposedly going on...
"Your baby isn't just sitting around (on your bladder) doing nothing, he's working hard preparing for life outside the womb—perfecting his lungs and packing on the pounds. He'll gain ½ pound this week alone. Other highlights this week:
Things are starting to get a little crowded inside the old womb as baby grows bigger and bigger. Your ribs are probably pining away for the good old days when they didn't have a foot permanently lodged between them. Hate to break it to you, but it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Your baby's ears are fully functional now. And since they are, you may notice that loud noises and sudden movements can startle the little bugger. He's getting used to the everyday sounds inside the womb: the sound of your heart beating, your lungs inhaling and exhaling air, the growling of your stomach because your partner promised he'd be right back with that double cheeseburger and he's taking forever! He'll even be able to hear your voice when your partner finally arrives and you ask him where the bleep he's been! So talk nice!
Baby's got a fully developed inner ear now. This means his sense of balance is working and he can tell whether he's hanging upside down or right side up. He can also feel you moving, so go ahead, pop in your favorite tunes and boogie.
Your little Wiener schnitzel is about the length of a foot-long Chicago hot dog and weighs about 1 1/3 pounds."
