I found this great website called thebump.com. I looked and looked for a site that was good for kids- that could explain what was happening each week with my pregnancy- and this was my favorite! Every Sunday, we've been gathering around the computer to look up pictures of baby Avery and see how big she has grown during the week. My kids love looking at this site, because it compares the size of the fetus to a fruit or vegetable, so it helps them imagine how big she really is. They have been getting so excited as she has gone from the size of a poppyseed to a watermelon, as of last week! After their baths last week- and before we got into jammies, they all gathered around the computer for the weekly update. I love how interested and intent their little faces are in the picture. They were really into it! We found another great illustrated picture of a full term baby- and how it looks inside the womb. The boys were especially interested in how all of my organs have been squished and moved around. I think it helps them understand better why mommy isn't feeling her best these days! Glad we caught this moment in time- my 4 sweet, clean, yummy kids and all their anticipation and love for their baby sister!

Nice to see you blogging again. I know grandma with greatly appreciate it.
this is so cute! you look amazing, p.s.
I love seeing this photo of you and your sweet little ones, Danielle! You are so amazing as a mother and a wife. I am so grateful that you had your excellent mother and HER mother to also learn from. They are good role models in your life. (Come to think of it, they are good role models in MY life, too!) Love you, Sweetie.
That is sooo sweet that you could do that with your family and that they were so interested in their new baby sister! Chris and I loved reading about each week of our pregnancy! What a wonderful thing to do on the Sabbath!
