We finally reached the big day! Monday the 21st was Eva's due date, so we celebrated her turning zero (and then 3 days later, celebrated her turning 3 months old :). We've now stopped counting down to her due date and are counting up from it.
it is almost like having two birthdays, especially for the next couple of years. Though her date of birth is October 24, her development in these last 3 months was counted according to what she would have been doing in the womb. All of the important developmental milestones--when we should anticipate that she'll sit up, crawl, talk, walk, etc... will be calculated from her "adjusted age," i.e., her age taken from her due date. So...today she is both 4 days old and 3 months old.
Our friends Amanda and Nina had us over for dinner (and provided the glittery pink zero candle), my mom brought the chocolate cake, and our friend Kristen brought the cheesecake--fitting that a girl with 2 birthdays should have 2 cakes!

Happy Zero Day Eva! We'll keep praying that she keeps up the good progress (and lets you sleep here and there). Whenever I'm on the computer Dorothy (2 y/o) asks to see "Weevwah". She is quite attached to your daughter. :)
