She not a giant baby!!! Yay!


If you go back a few posts you'll see that at our last ultrasound they told us she was head up and in the 91st percentile for size. We were a little worried when they talked about trying to get her to come early so that we didn't have to resort to a C-Section if she was really big. Fortunately, they made a mistake. Remember back to our first few months when they originally predicted her due date at November 7th. Well apparently no one changed it in the ultrasound computer. At our 3rd ultrasound the normal technician wasn't there and the substitute didn't confirm our due date. So... for a Nov 7th date....yes she was big. However for her real due date, November 1st, she is just right. They estimate her to be about 4lb 15 oz (give or take a lb) and in the 47th percentile. Which makes a lot more sense when you actually look at my belly size. And she is now turned head down....so Yay for being average! And we actually have a really awsome shot of her face. Although everyone I've showed it to, stares at it like it's a worshak test.

We have our next appointment on Monday, so perhaps we'll have more to report then.

Beautiful Shower


I'm about a week behind, but I wanted to say a big thank you to Judy, Shauna, Shelly, Theresa, and Joelle for all the work they did to prepare for my baby shower. Everything was beautiful. Cory and I feel so blessed that we have so many wonderful friends and family. Our baby girl is all set with everything we need to take care of her. I don't have any pictures from the shower, but will post when I get some

Some news from the Dr's office. At our appointment last Monday the doctor indicated that she thought the baby was now turned head down. We'll confirm at our ultrasound on Thursday. She also indicated that anyone who plans to spend a lot of time around her through 6 months should get a Whooping Cough shot. Apparently there is a breakout in Southern California. We're going to find out the best place to get them and let everyone know.

I'm still feeling pretty good...I can't believe we're already at 34 weeks...only 6 weeks to go for those of you counting down. As far as her development goes...she's now the size of a honeydew and very active. She can now blink and recognize simple songs...I haven't asked Cory to sing to her yet. Less cute is that she is now able to urinate. We'll provide more info after the ultrasound.

Belly at 32 weeks (almost)


So here's the belly picture for 31 weeks and 5 days. Not much new to report on her. We are almost ready for her though. The nursery is 95% complete. We found a nice little bookshelf last weekend that fits in nicely and thanks to Theresa we have some super cute curtains. Just a few more decorations and the wall light and we should be done.

Her dresser is practically full. Thanks to Dave and Andrea, we got another bag full of clothes. She'll be a well dressed little girl through 9 months.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with a little bit of home organization thrown in. We've made good progress fitting all the stuff that was cluttering our living room back into the bedrooms and the closets.
