it's a girl!

We found out last night that we're having a girl! I'm very happy and excited. That explains my dreams, my attraction to pinks + yellows, and all sorts of other things. I'm 26 weeks, 6 months pregnant, with a healthy little one on the way. It looks like my due date will be the 7th or 8th of July, but of course could be up to a week earlier or later. In light of this news, I found one of my favorite Etsy sellers, Bobishi, who makes these lovely booties.

5.5 months and home with Topi

A couple pictures from this weekend -- mama making cookies in the kitchen at 5.5 months pregnant with Topi's little brother or sister. Topi in his squirrel shirt and mama's feet.

Topi's first haircut

At nearly 18 months old, Topi had his first "real" haircut at the barber! It was a traditional Turkish barber salon, and Topi was fascinated by the man next to us getting his hair cut! That explains why he is always off looking to the right. He sat in my lap and I nearly got a haircut too by the flying scissors and hair everywhere, but he didn't cry or get scared at all. It was over in ten mintues and I have a new little boy now!

Later at home we lounged around and posed for the camera, though Topi rarely stays still these days, so most of them are blurry. Topi really looks a lot like Dad in the first left photo at home, and Tony, too, but I see so much of Devrim in his face!
