How old is your baby? 5 months next week!

What's going on with your baby? They laugh, smile at everything, have been sleeping through the night for a couple of months, and I think they're working on some teeth.

How are you feeling? I feel fantastic. Going back to work wasn't compatable with breastfeeding, so they're weaned and my milk dried up. I miss that sweet closeness with them, but it's ok.

Any Dr. Appointments this past week and how did they go? We had our 4-month wellbaby visit a couple of weeks ago-- Evy was 15lbs2oz, Nora was 13lbs2oz. We started with rice cereal this week and Nora loves it, so I'm hoping that it will help bump her up a bit. They got their shots and I think it was worse for me than it was for them.

Anything big happening in your personal life (moving, work related, family, etc)? Work has been really busy, but I'm making it work. And two good friends announced pregnancies this week!

Any questions you want to ask? Not right now.

We got an awful phone call this morning-- my husband's cousin was murdered.  She responded to a job posting and scheduled an interview, which turned out to be a trap.  She was found dead yesterday.

Our child is due in June.  How does everyone feel about memorial naming?  Her name was Katherine and we went to school together.  I don't know how much I like the name, but may consider it.  Would it salt the wound for my husband's family?  Is it too soon?  How do all of you feel about it?
