We’re Linda, Ilya, Mateo, and Linda. This blog is our attempt to document us and our kids as they grow. We started this to document the process of Linda being pregnant and Ilya being a nice husband and gaining sympathy weight. We continue this as Mateo has grown to be a child of small-to-moderate age, while his newer brother Roan fills the role of the baby.

Sympathy weight, haha!
I’m so excited, but I promise I’ll be extra discreet from now on.

Your baby can’t hide from the Internet any more.
Hey Ilya & Linda, I just found your blog. Or rather, Kate found your blog and sent it to me. Just thought I’d post a note to let you know how excited we are for you two (ahem, three!).

Well, so far it’s only about 2.15 of us, or so, but it should grow into more like 3 in another 5 months, give or take a few weeks. 🙂

Hi. Your site is lovely, and a real testament to your new little on. Just one thing?…next to your ulrasound pictures you should maybe write how far along it is into the pregnancy. also wheather it is the gestational age or the date from your last missed period. I was so curious to know, (I’m pregnant too). thank you so much for all your info!!!
