That baby cannot cling to ceiling or walls, you are just trying to mask her TRUE superpower by posting the picture upside down. I speculate that she has actually super-strength and the hands belong to an acrobat standing on his/her hands, lifted in air by the super-strong Sydney. Ampersand, you trickster.

We'd have to go 8 days after a c-section, and I'm not sure how up to it I'll be. Ya never know, might get some Syd on a pony picts though.

On the bright side, the doctor said that after next week, the baby is pretty much considered 'full term', so if I were to have her, she'd likely be in fine health with good strong lungs. That's an 'in the clear' that gave me many a warm fuzzy. Maddox, btw, is said to be very long like Sydney & Matt (my husband) - I believe it too, considering for the past month she's been kicking under my ribs, while at the same time spanning the full extent of my torso. We still haven't figured out a middle name for her yet, so that's this month's project, along with trying to go through things to clear up more room for another go at doing the newborn thing. My biggest apprehensions right now is how Sydney is going to react to all of this. Her love of other children and babies inclines me to believe she'll do well, but we've been stressing on figuring out ways to make sure that the transition is a fun and happy time for Sydney. Robert, cute kiddo. And yes, Sydney has a giraffe that she rides, but no horse just yet. The giraffe's name is Smooches, and she's pretty docile.

Soon she'll be a bank robber in the old cinematic West. Syd doesn't have a horse but she does have a toy giraffe big enough for her to sit on, so she gets by.

But you can see all the past pictures <a href="http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/category/baby-blogging/" rel="nofollow">on this page</a>. Syd's pregnant mommy is doing fine, although I think I'm detecting a little bit of the "okay, enough already" stage of pregnancy beginning to show up. I might be wrong about that, though - perhaps Kim will comment herself.

We're in the backyard and he's holding me upside down by my ankles, similar to the way a fisherman would show off a prize catch. My mom finds it embarrassing to this day, but Dad and I think it's cute. There’s an infamous photo of my dad and me when I was less than a year old.
