My birthday is on Tuesday but Kevin and I celebrated this weekend. He bought me a new pair of sunglassess after he got tired of my crappy Target pair falling off my face every time I turned my head. They are sooo much better! On Saturday we went to dinner with Kelly and Brian and [...]

Update:Thursday the doctor put me on the fetal monitor after my ultrasound and they noticed I was contracting every two minutes. I have started to notice the contractions more over the past few days, and they are definitely preparing for the big event. Well, they sent me up to my OB who said I had progressed a little [...]
HOW YOUR BABY IS GROWING AT 37 WEEKS:Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, her lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away. Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures [...]

I’ve actually heard a few questions about the weight issue and where it comes from, where it goes. So I’m here for the record, to hopefully answer any questions. Except one – I’m not telling you how much I’ve gained or how much I weigh. Let’s just say I’m average but I’ve never seen a [...]
HOW YOUR BABY IS GROWING AT 36 WEEKS:Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She’s shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her [...]

Concentrating on school is getting harder and harder. It might be easier if we were getting the summer off – so I’d have an end in sight, and could look forward to staying home with the baby – but we’re not getting the summer off. This stupid program has no breaks and so I don’t [...]
At 35 weeks I think she’s tired of getting her picture taken. The past 3 or 4 weeks her hands and feet have been covering her face, preventing a really good image. At least she gives us a view of her excellent bone structure. You can see the arms and hands really well in this [...]
HOW YOUR BABY IS GROWING AT 35 WEEKS:Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that she’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew). Because it’s so snug in your womb, she isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she [...]
She definitely gets her chubby baby cheeks from Kevin and myself, no question. And the doctor and ultrasonographer both agree with me that it looks like she will be a “big”, “stocky”, “round” baby, to use some of their terms. Thank goodness we are delivering 9 days earlier than her due date! She has continually [...]
