Take a Walk

Sunday after my tennis match, Owen decided he wanted to wear my shoes. He put them on (the wrong feet) and walked all around the house. Once he got used to it, he started running around the house. He told me he was going to play tennis and he would be back later. He would not stand still for a picture. That boy just had to keep walking.

Happy Girl

Even though Emme has had a cough for 2 months and is teething like crazy, she is such a happy girl. She is always smiling and giggling. I love to hear her little laugh. And Owen loves to make her laugh. He is such a sweet big brother.

She loves sitting in the Bumbo. We are working on sitting up on her own.

Emme - 4 Months

Emme had her 4 month check-up today. She weighs 15 pounds, 6 ounces and is 25 inches long. Both height and weight are at 80%. She is a big girl. She got two shots today and only cried for about 5 seconds. She is always smiling and now laughing & squealing!

Rewind - O's Bday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Owen's 2nd birthday. I am still writing thank you notes so my apologies if you have not received one yet.

 

He looked so cute in his hat, bandana and sweater.

38 Weeks

I had my weekly appointment today. The baby's heartbeat was strong in the 140's with lots of movement. My cervix is completely closed and the baby has not dropped. No contractions, no cramping, no nothing. October 22nd, here we come!

How far along: 38 Weeks - 17 days to go!

Total Weight Gain: More and more each time I go to the doctor. I have noticed swelling in my feet but still.

How big is the baby: Based on my ultrasound 2 weeks ago and the fact that the baby is gaining around an ounce a day, I think this little one is already more than 7.5 pounds.

Movement: Lots of feet on the top of my belly and elbows in my sides.

Sleep: Eh...

Best Moment: When Owen climbs up on me, lays his head on my stomach and sings a song to the baby. He did it last night and I just started crying. That sweet boy looked up at me and said Don't cry Mommy. Love him!

Food Cravings: None, just very thirsty.

Belly Button: Still in but stretching.

Stretch Marks: No

Maternity Clothes: Dresses although even some of those are getting a little short with my large belly. I have no idea what I am going to wear to 3 days of a conference next week and I hate to buy new clothes now.

What I miss: I miss not sweating on my legs because my belly is sitting on them. I miss being able to sit comfortably in a dress with my knees together. I miss people ignoring me in elevators rather than telling me how I look like I am about to pop.

Looking forward to: Finding out what this baby is!

Concerns: Although I am pretty certain this baby won't be arriving early, I have that little thought in the back of my head that it could happen. I am a little worried that I won't be as mentally prepared to actually go into labor.
