39 and counting!!!


Well I just started my 39th week yesterday and things are going well!

I had another visit to the OB/GYN today. She said my head is down and might even have dropped a little bit! My heart rate was 146 (very good and strong), and everything looks good!

Daddy and I were playing the kicking game again this morning... This time we were doing it while Mommy was sleeping! It was lots of fun, but eventually she woke up.

Mommy started trying evening primrose oil to help me come out... Luckily she hasn't tried the one recipe she found on the internet yet... (Orange juice + Vodka + Castor Oil). Daddy doesn't think she' going to get that desparate... Daddy tried to tell her that singing on your left foot while facing south and wearing a spandex jumpsuit while the sun is setting sometimes works but she didn't try that either.

I don't have any new pictures to share, but I'll put up this one from Halloween in case you haven't seen it... I dressed up as a puppy!

Well, I have some kicking to go and do... Talk to you soon (hopefully in person!)

Well into my 38th week!


Hi everyone, and welcome to my new blog!

I just wanted to update everyone on how I'm doing...

I've been growing inside mommy's belly now for over 38 weeks and I'm a little concerned that I'm running out of room... Mommy says that I have to be careful because when I'm moving around it feels like I might break one of her ribs!!

The doctors (and daddy) say that I'm ready to come out now, so mommy started eating lots of pineapple, and drinking loose leaf raspberry tea because it's supposed to help me come out of her belly, but I really like it in here!

Daddy and I started playing a new game this week! He found one of my little feet and he gives it a little push... Then he puts his hand there and I give his hand a little kick! Daddy and I love it, but I don't think Mommy likes it too much.

We went for a tour of the Milton hospital last week and it sure is small, but everyone there was really really nice. Who knows when we'll go there next?!
Thats all for now! Can't wait to meet you all!!
