Too Small?

We had a minor scare this week. Even though Brittney’s tummy seems to be growing exponentially, as seen in this photo taken on July 19th, yesterday the OB told her she was measuring a little small from the outside and sent her to get a sonogram. Turns out everything is fine, the baby is average size at 4 lb 3 oz and looks healthy in every way. Also, there has been some miscommunication with the doctor who now says our due date is September 22nd.

Besides our impromptu hospital visit we’ve been pretty busy. Brittney’s been teaching inner-city teenagers at a non-profit theater academy and doing lots of GMAT tutoring. Mark took a whirlwind trip to South America for work (left Monday night, got back Thursday morning). A short film Brittney starred in, 1 & 2, screened this Thursday as part of the HBO New York Latino International Film Festival and screens again tomorrow (notice a Latin theme here…maybe we should change our nickname Shlomo to Juan/ita). Brittney’s parents, brother, sister-in-law and nieces are on their way to visit us and see the film.

Some stills from the rather ‘artsy’ film, back when Brittney’s tummy was actually small:
