Another excellent progress report from Dr. J! He says everything is looking great - we have an ultrasound with our next appointment. We are going to get an estimate on how big you'll be at birth.
Dr. J thinks you'll be between 8.0 and 8.5 pounds at birth. (Here's to hoping you will be that or slightly smaller! Come on little guy, make this easier on mommy!)

Hooray - an end to the stupid heat! (At least for now.) Back to nice, comfy temps and lower humidity. We can take healthy walks in the fresh air again!
One month to go! This is what I'm doing to prepare for baby's arrival:
Getting things finished in the nursery and trying to find some shelves to put stuffed animals on so they are no longer all over the floor.
I think I'm officially nesting! (Chirp, chirp!)
June 16, 2011 - Week 34
Well... it's starting to get humid again (boo!). I guess we couldn't go without it forever. =( Oh well.
Things are still going really well, but my ankles look more like cankles lately due to the humidity. Luckily, there is no cause for concern. The swelling goes down if I elevate them and my blood pressure is still very healthy.
June 22, 2011 - OB Appointment/Ultrasound (Week 35)
Everything still looks fine. Heartbeat is still strong. Baby is still a boy and he weighs in at around 6.5 pounds. He just decided on a whim to move into the breech position... but the doctor said there is enough fluid present that he may well move back on his own. (We are hoping this is the case because I really don't want to have the doctor assist him in repositioning... nor do I want a C-section delivery.)
Seeing the ultrasound images was so much fun. He is going to be quite a cutie!
June 23, 2011 - Week 35
People say that my belly looks like: it's ready to pop.
My relatives said they think I'm carrying twins - but we know for a fact we are just carrying one big baby boy.
The baby had managed to flip into the breech position at the last appointment. I had been wondering why the activity had shifted from primarily daytime movement to primarily night time movement. Wow... I never knew I'd have a little party animal!
I experienced a night of rather abrupt movements and the baby seemed to be moving primarily during daylight hours again... I wonder if he's flipped back into the delivery position (crossing fingers).
The baby has the cutest little cheeks! I can't wait to see them in person instead of in the ultrasound photos!!
June 30, 2011 - Week 36
I've had so many people ask me if I'm ready for the baby to be here. Personally, time has passed so quickly, I can hardly believe he'll be here in just 4 weeks! Where did the time go, anyway?
To be honest, I am ready to physically have the little man here. I am ready not for the reasons most people are... not because it's been an uncomfortable pregnancy - because it hasn't... it's honestly been a dream. I'm ready partially because the weather has been nasty humid lately - making it really hard to enjoy the last few weeks... and partially because I just want to hold this little guy. :-) I know, soon... there isn't much time left now.
