Mikki continues to amaze, though she is admittedly becoming more uncomfortable each day. In fact, she is beginning to do more waddling than walking, though her growing belly is not slowing her down all that much. Rather, it actually appears as though she has gained a little energy the last few weeks (or she is doing a pretty good job of faking it). The most important thing is that the boys are still in Mikki’s belly. Every day they develop more and grow stronger. Their little kicks, punches and rolls are getting more pronounced. While it’s cool to feel, the downside is that their growth and strength makes it harder for Mikki to rest/sleep comfortably. Please keep Mikki and these boys in your prayers, they all need them.
Last week was highlighted by the girls attendance at Vacation Bible School, which included a final “show” of sorts on Friday night. Both Claire and Caroline had a good time and they were so excited to perform on stage. We were also fortunate enough to be honored at a shower at my office last Wednesday. There are actually four women at my office currently expecting, one who just recently gave birth, and then Mikki. The shower was hosted by a number of thoughtful people at my office and was given in honor of Mikki and two other women who are all due to give birth around the same time. The shower was very well done and we were overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the Phelps family. I wish we would have done a better job taking pictures to share, but we did get a few of the girls:
A huge thanks to our Phelps Dunbar family!
This week our Claire Bear is at a National Dance Convention in New Orleans. Earlier this year Claire participated in a regional convention/competition where she won a scholarship to the national convention:
The convention is hosted by NTG and includes 6 hours a day of dance instruction by national instructors. The girls then rehearse for another 6 hours or so for the final show, which will be at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans on Thursday night. 12 hours of dance a day is pretty brutal, but, for those of you who know Claire well, you will not be surprised to hear that she is loving every minute….though, she is wiped out by the end of each day:
We are soooo proud of Claire. And yes, for those wondering, the pregnant woman is in New Orleans this week (hopefully spending some time off of her feet). Luckily, she has lots of help from her mom and the other dance moms. My mom is actually flying in for the show on Thursday. We are really looking forward to it!
We go back to the doctor and MFM on Friday, and, hopefully, we’ll have positive reports to share. Keep those prayers, well wishes, thoughts, and good vibes coming.
Hunter and Mikki.
