21 Weeks

I have reached the stage where the belly is starting to bump into things, like the counter when I'm doing dishes. And I have to lay on my side when I sleep.

Tess climbed into bed to wake me up this morning and her first question to me was, "how is Baby Sister?" After I told her she was good. Tess told me another list of things that she was going to teach her: how to cut and rip paper, put on stickers, write with markers, and glue!

I'm leaving for a five-day trip to San Francisco on Thursday. It's a big deal. It will be the longest stretch by far that Tess and I have ever been separated. Last night Tess asked me if Baby Sister was going to stay with her and Dada or leave with me. I told her that Baby Sister pretty much goes everywhere I go these days, and that made Tess sad all over again. "But I don't want Baby Sister to leave!"
