36 Weeks

Dear Baby D,

In some ways it feels that Mommy & Daddy have been counting down the weeks to your arrival forever, but in others, I can hardly believe that you're expected to make your grand entrance into the world in just a mere 4 weeks! We've got a lot to finish up on our 'to-do' list this final month, but have begun to make some progress. Yesterday we installed your car seat and your Grammy came to visit to help bring some order to your nursery. We managed to set up your bookshelf and get a start on laundry. We've got a long ways to go, but made a good dent in the mess!

Mommy & Daddy got another sneak peek at you this week during our 36 week sonogram! We got to see you yawn (apparently we were boring you?) and even blink! The technician pointed out that you have a little hair on your head and also uttered the two words that Mommy did not really want to hear, "big head"! You are estimated to weigh around 5 lbs 7 oz now, so with the expected 1/2 lb a week weight gain, that will put you right around 7.5 lbs, which I'll take! :)

I'm starting to feel more discomfort as we progress into the final stretch and am taking your Daddy up more on his offers to help...I even had him help me put my socks and sneakers on before we headed out to his Coaches Game on Saturday! I was still able to get in a good 3 mile walk on Saturday afternoon and hope to keep up some level of activity as long as I can!

Love Always,
Mommy




Can you make out Baby D's face in the sonogram?

You look amazing! And don't worry too much about the big head...as long as there's not a big body attached to it! :-) xo
