37 Weeks



Whoo Hooo! I'm full-term! According to BabyCenter.com "Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard)." Has anyone seen a stalk of Swiss chard around? What the hell? We had our weekly appointment and Dr. Mitchell guesstimated the baby NOT being as big as Eli, but being around 9 lbs. Aaron also admitted I seem to be more comfortable than last time. I'm really hoping we make it to March 25th. I'm perfectly happy with the baby cooking some more. Everything is looking good. Baby is head down, not that it matters. I forgot to ask what the FHR was, sounded strong though. I only gained a pound since last week.

My friend Rhonda is miserable. I feel so bad. She is predicting that I'm having a girl and she is having a boy. We'll see, bets anyone? We're getting pedicures on Saturday with Emily and Becky as well. Looking forward to it! We're celebrating Becky's b-day.

Nothing too exciting has happened this week. Last night Brian, my brother-in-law came over for OK Joe's BBQ, it was tasty. He'll be around this weekend and next week for work. He's going to be moving to KC this year, probably this summer, since John will be starting HS in the fall. I watched the season finale of "Project Runway", it was pretty good. Really looking forward to "Top Chef" to start next week!

My sister and cousin will be visiting the second week in April, Max will be with them too. It should be fun.

Well, that's about all for now!Here's a picture of Eli getting ready for bed. He's such a ham..."Cheese"!

Funny you mention swiss chard, b/c I just made a swiss chard and potato casserole recently. I know, sounds crazy, but it was so good. I had never cooked with it before and didn't know what to look for at the grocery store! I hope your baby doesn't look like swiss chard, though. It's pretty long and leafy and not that cute. :) Hee hee.

I can't wait! You look awesome and we are just so excited to hear the fun news.

Yipppeeee!! Full term! You don't sound too uncomfortable, so I hope the baby cooks a week or two longer for ya. So the head-down position is not that painful anymore? Or you just learn to live with it?
