The Donovans

 I can't believe I forgot to mention the timing of me testing positive for covid. I started noticing on Tuesday that my throat kind of hurt, Tuesday into Wednesday night, it felt worse and I noticed some congestion, so I took a test and it came back + THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE FOR FLORIDA! Pats extended family on his mom's side was all flying down to celebrate his grandmas birthday-who is no longer with us. If you remember our last trip with the entire family was for Pat's cousin Nick's wedding in Cabo back in Oct '21 and Pat hurt his back THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE. So bummed that we're missing all of these events! But we're hoping to make it back down to Florida before the arrival of baby D 2. Now to catch up, a few weekends ago- most of my sisters, mom, and most of my nieces went to the Dunes of Indiana for a girls weekend. We stayed in this area a few years ago for a sisters weekend we had, its a nice meeting spot for us with...

I seem to have a thing with 25. My birthday is 6/25, Branko's is 9/25 (his due date), and this next baby due 10/25!  Branko is going to be a big brother! I am not sure he is ready for it as he mostly throws his doll on the floor, but he's slowly starting to share his snacks/drink with the doll. I have a video of us showing Branko the ultrasound picture and he picked it up and threw it on the floor! As of right now, I plan to do a repeat c-section when I'm 39 weeks, so around 10/18. We'll see how it all plays out. I told my family the weekend before Easter when my side celebrated since my parents were going down to Texas to visit my brother and his family for the holiday. Branko wore his "Big Bro" t shirt and was supposed to be holding his "How to be a big brother" book with the ultrasound photo in it, but he wanted to hold his sleep sack instead. Here he is in his outfit before the big reveal. Here we are on St Patricks day for our first ultrasound! ...
