35 Weeks


We had another ultrasound last week and our little guy is measuring just about a week older (36 wks) and 5.5 pounds. So, the bets are on that he's coming early! We'll see, maybe he'll just be a bit bigger: ) It was, of course, fun to see him again and see how much more developed he is. We started our birthing classes, hopefully we'll see it to the last class, we are the first due date amongst the couples.

34 Weeks


Well, it definitely is starting to feel close...especially since we are hearing about all these super early deliveries! Hopefully he'll cook for another 5-6 weeks : ) His movements are starting to change a bit...more rolls and shifts rather than kicks, pokes, and streches. He's growing and taking up much more space. Doc says that at 34 weeks is when they start to grow at their own individual pace, determining their size at birth- we are very curious as to how big he will be. It might just be that we are also settling on a name...could it be??? We won't give it up yet though, it still could change when we see him : )

33 Weeks


Ken and I spent our 33 week marker in Yosemite for one last get away before the little guy arrives. Not a whole lot of snow, but it was beautiful and relaxing. The little guy behaved the whole time, not a single contraction while we were gone, mom was just super slow on the little hikes : )

32 Weeks


8 Months...feels like we are coming into the home strech. Starting to feel more tired these days along with a whole new set of strange and not so great feelings : ) The doc says I will most likely feel everything at this point. He is still as active as ever and keeps us smiling.

Cousins...

Jack is getting acquainted with his cousin...

Ahhh...I know you're in there!!!

31 Weeks

I am finally feeling hiccups : ) He has them just about everday now and they haven't gotten annoying yet like everyone says they will. I suppose there are plenty of cramped movements that I do get enough of : )...the hiccups are pretty cut right now.
