One Month's Difference

My sister had her fifth boy on Aug. 27. He weighed in at 9 lbs. 5 oz, just 4 oz. less than The Saint weighed at his four week checkup! We got to see him when he was just a few days old & he is darling. She's calling him Baby Moon for now on her blog, http://www.celestialacademy.blogspot.com/. I'm sure that will change once he gets older & develops his own likes.


For those of you who know my sister, you know that she & I are definitely different when it comes to our sizes. I'm a lot bigger than she is & when I am pregnant, I am huge compared to her. We've both been pregnant at the same time for our past two pregnancies.

At the beginning of June of this year, I had about two months to go & she had about 2 1/2 months go go. We were at their house for my nephew's birthday party & one of their neighbors commented on my pregnancy, asking if I was due soon. He was shocked to hear that I still had two months to go. My sister only looked about five months along while I looked like a barge compared to her. So, it always comes as a shock to me that she gives birth to larger babies. I guess part of that is due to my high blood pressure & having them 2-3 weeks early while she goes very close to her due dates. And the fact that she only gains in her tummy, while I gain everywhere!

Anyway, here is a picture I took of the new cousins. Baby Moon (on the left) is four days old & The Saint is six weeks. Can you tell that they're just over one month apart? Nope, I can't either!


Congratulations Sis, on your fifth boy! He's very precious & a welcome addition to our ever-growing family!
