Technically 38 weeks and a 1 day. But who’s counting? Ben and I went to a lawyer dinner function tonight and I wore the only fancy maternity item I own (and it’s not even mine). Good thing we don’t go to a lot of these functions or I would be referred to as “that pregnant … [Read more…]
Nothing to report. I am going to the doctor on Thursday, and Ben and I are going to pre-admit to the hospital that afternoon. We are officially full term now, and while that is a comforting fact I wonder why I then have to wait patiently for another 3-5 weeks to meet Baby Z! If … [Read more…]
Here is the 36 week belly shot. I asked Ben if he thought I looked much bigger this week than the week before, and he kindly replied, “No, I don’t think so.” I didn’t feel a whole lot bigger, but when I saw this photo I felt differently. I am in fact bigger than the … [Read more…]
Here is a proper belly shot for week 35. Only 35 days to go! Yikes. Ben and I should probably get to narrowing down our list of baby names. I think we still have at least 10 contenders per gender at this point. A name is quite permanent, so I’m having a tough time. My … [Read more…]
I know this doesn’t really count, but I am still going to tell our child that he/she attended this game. On Friday Ben was offered box seats for the Rangers game on Saturday afternoon, which he accepted, and so we headed down to Dallas on Saturday morning. While I wasn’t too excited about spending 6 … [Read more…]
Wow. I have been really bad about posting updates and belly shots. Ben kept reminding me, but it just never happened. So here is the most recent belly shot. This is technically 32 weeks and 5 days, but its close enough. I was in Austin this weekend for a baby shower that my sisters threw … [Read more…]
An unexpected package came in the mail yesterday. It was flat and soft and sent from Babies R Us. What could it be? Upon opening the mysterious package I discovered this! You know you have a serious loyalty to (some might say obsession with) your school when you decide to dress your unborn children in … [Read more…]
When I went to the doctor last week I was measuring a little small, so my doctor did a quick sonogram to see if the baby was a good size. Baby Z was 3 pounds 3 ounces then, and everything looked good. He took a few pictures, so that was a nice treat. Here is … [Read more…]
This past weekend was a busy one, but it was wonderful. Some of my favorite people came up to Amarillo for a baby shower. I can’t thank those people enough for making the trip. The lovely ladies who threw the shower put so much work in to it. I would have never thought of the … [Read more…]
The countdown from 10 weeks has begun. Getting into the single digits for weeks to go is so exciting! I had a dream last week that Baby Z was a boy, so we’ll see. However, in that dream I was encouraged by my wiser sisters who are already mommies to feed the baby a bottle … [Read more…]
