With the upcoming beginning of a new chapter in our lives (the arrival of our Baby Girl), Andrew and I decided to restart the blog we began back in 2006. We figure we'll be more successful at posting to this one, since blogs about new babies are probably more exciting than posts about the everyday lives of two otherwise ordinary people. <grin> I won't guarantee frequent posts, but check back now and then to see what's up with our new little family!
At some point, I may try to collect all of the pregnancy updates I made to Facebook and email, but that may be a big undertaking, so we'll see. For now, we'll just start where we are: Week 38! :) Here is the post I made about this week.
Hello Family and Friends-Like-Family!!
Here is this week's Baby Update! This week is 38 Weeks!
Yesterday we had another ultrasound to check on the growth of Baby Girl. The measurements estimate that she is about 7 +/- 1 lbs. This still puts her in the 50% range... perfectly average. Yay! :) I'm most likely not having a giant baby! We had our pre-admission appointment at the hospital earlier in the day, and so we're all set for when we arrive at the hospital. Then we had a quick bite to eat since I was starving! Then it was back to the hospital for the ultrasound. Baby Girl must have been enjoying the calories form lunch because during the scan she was wiggling all around, making the technician laugh. It was very cool to be able to see what she was doing while I was feeling her do it! Those "bumping" feelings I keep feeling way down low are probably her moving her head back and forth. It looked like she was bopping to her own little music number in there. Those "pushes" and "pops" I've been feeling higher up, near my sternum are her feet. Her legs are all curled up and when she moves and stretches BOY can I feel it! :) Her due date is still Jan 6th, although the ultrasound suggests Jan 8th as possible due date as well. Everything seems to be continuing to progress in a nice, normal, orderly fashion, which I'm very happy about. :)

The house is clean for Christmas, and the baby clothes are sorted into those that we washed and put away for immediate use and those that we'll wash later on, closer to when we'll need them. Before I wash and put away all the hand knitted items, I'll take some pictures for the knitters to have. :) Since I finished all my grading, I have today to play and prepare for Christmas! On the list is some laundry, some food shopping and hopefully some cookie baking!
The tree is lit this morning and the Christmas presents are all wrapped and underneath it (or as close as I can get to that since it's a tiny, 3 ft tree <grin>). I'm finally feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy the holiday and then... Baby Girl! :)
Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Week!
Love, Cindy, Andrew and Baby Girl!
Thanks for Reading!
