Steve is out of town for the week and next week as well, so there is no photographic display of the expanding waistline this week. Maize, Sparky and I are holding down the fort and trying to get our house back in order after one very wild weekend. Our washing machine died this weekend. It had been on its last leg for a while, but Friday it finally spun its last spin and died with a tub full of water. Luckily we knew someone with a washing machine and dryer that they needed to sell. So... we got a new washing machine, Grandpa Harley and Steve installed it, and then they left to take the truck back to the golf course. While they were gone, and after they had me start a load of laundry to make sure the water would run, the drain pipe started leaking and leaked the entire load's worth of water onto our floors. Being pregnant, I just started wiping it up with towels and waited for Steve to pull the washing machine out from the wall and fix it. At least the breaking down may be done for the time being.
Now for the week 16 stats. First, the belly is now 40 inches around (up 1/2 inch from last week). My weight has remained constant for the last 6 weeks, which has been a good thing. My belly pains have decreased. Sparky is about 5 inches and about 3 ounces. He's probably starting to move, but I haven't felt anything yet. This weekend Sparky will make his second trip to the Upper Pennisula and will visit Sault Ste. Marie, where Steve is interviewing for a job.

Dear Little Sparky, so glad Mommy didn't slip and fall with all that water in your house. Hopefully that won't happen again soon. Glad Daddy has an interview at Sault Ste. Marie, I just love that little town. You will love living there. Your cousin Seth has been accepted at Lake State College, so he may be around for your birth. I hope so. Love you lots! Grandma J
