Ticker Tock: 30 Weeks (October 23-29)

Ahh, I'm still a squash, but I don't even care because I got to go to my very first party - and it was thrown in MY honor!! Super Uncle Jeff hosted a baby shower for me - and a Halloween themed one at that! Uncles Jeff, Cory, and Ken decorated our church fellowship hall with lots of delightful Halloween decorations, made lots of beautifully scary food, and my whole family and church family came (except my Uncle Joel who had to work, but he was there in spirit!)! Oh, it was just the BEST time ever - I can't wait for the next party I get to go to once I'm on the outside! Tee Hee!!

Real FINGER sandwiches! Tee hee!!

The Moms and me with our hosts.
Mum's costume shows what's in her tummy (me)
and Mama's costume shows what's in hers! Tee hee!!

Vampire Mice!

The prettiest fall/Halloween/baby shower cake ever!

The Moms enjoying a finger or two! They're pretty crazy
and I can't wait to meet them!!

A Note from Mum: I apologize for the tardiness of the posts for weeks 30 and 31. I've had a stressful couple of weeks and have gotten behind in posting Zordan's updates.

Ticker Tock: 29 Weeks

I've graduated to a squash this week! Yippee!! It feels like I was an eggplant FOREVER!! It's the perfect time to be a squash, too: fall!! I think this may be my favorite season yet - of course I've only really experienced summer so far and still being safely inside my Mum, I haven't really gotten to get out and FEEL the weather of either season. But, The Moms love fall best, so I think I do too!

Right now, The Moms are getting ready for a fun, fun weekend! Super Uncle Jeff is throwing us a baby shower at our church - so fun! It's Halloween-themed and Nana, Grampa, and Gigi will all be there, too! Aunt Kym will be coming too, so I'll get to meet her for the first time! So exciting!! The Moms won't even tell me what their costume is, but I know it will be something super fun - that's how they are! Tee hee!! I can't wait!!

One other exciting thing - in a lifetime of everyday excitements - is that I "sat" for my first professional photo shoot! Tee hee!! Ms. Diana, a friend of The Moms, owns a wonderful photo studio, Memento Photo Studio. We met Ms. Diana at a pretty park and took a bunch of pre-world-entrance portraits of me - The Moms are in most of them as well! Tee hee!!

I have to say, I think my favorite of these is the "ZORDAN" one! So fun!

Ticker Tock: 21 Weeks

So, we're officially in the second half of my pre-world-entry growth. I'm feeling very anxious to get out there and meet people. I've been thinking a lot about my grandparents lately. I got to meet Nana very early on when she came while I was still making Mum so sick. That was a fun visit - for everyone except Mum, really. I can't wait to meet Grampa and Gigi, though. Now that my ears are wired up, I chat with Nana on the phone often - you'd be amazed at how advanced cell phone technology is in here. Sounds like she's right next to me! I also eavesdrop on The Mom's conversations with Grampa and Gigi, but it's really not the same. I'm not patient enough to wait til I'm in the world to meet them, though, so I'm glad they'll be coming to Rochester for a visit in October!

So, this week, according to my ticker, I'm the size of a banana. Is that confusing for anyone else? Granted, I don't know a lot about a lot of things, but even I know that a cantaloupe (my size last week) is bigger than a banana! Mum does indeed eat at least a banana a day, but she's been doing that for a while, so it's not really part of the eat-whatever-fruit-Zordan-is-the-size-of pattern.

There's still a lot of ruckus going on in our house getting ready for my arrival. Aunt BethAnn and Aunt Sue have been really helpful to Mama with all the painting. And I've heard the Aunt Sue has brought me a couple gifts, but The Moms won't let me see them until my birth day! Maybe Mum will show you all on her blog (which I read all the time - again, technology is amazing!) Tee hee!
