...My belly at 9 months!















NOPE, no baby yet! tomorrow, thursday, i have a doctors appointment and will know more about my progress. at last week's visit, i was about 70% effaced and a centimeter and a half dilated.

Marzieh's having a girl too!!!

Baby Shower II -- Thanks Marz and Leah!!

31 weeks

Well, my belly is growing, but no, we have not decided on a name just yet.

What else, let's see... Our lamaze classes begin in mid-January, I passed the gestational diabetes lab test (woohoo!), and I haven't weighed myself in a while but I think so far I've gained about 30 pounds maybe? My baby shower, at my Mom's in South Florida, is next weekend! and I'm really looking forward to seeing some people I haven't seen in a while!

The above left photo is from a month ago but now my belly is bigger than that. I'm pretty sure she's going to be a soccer player because the girl is kicking under my ribcage everyday. And the picture on the right is Phil, sitting in what will someday be the nursery, building the crib his parents got for us. : )

So since my last post, Ruth and Gerardo upholstered Ruth's baby chair and it looks so beautiful! We have all the furniture except for a rocking/glider chair, we painted the nursery light blue, and we have been doing a lot of home renovation, landscaping, painting, stuff like that because we want everything to be perfect for when she arrives. Also we know that once she's here, none of that stuff will ever get done. Just a prediction.

An update on our little girl....

How your baby's growing:

Our baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana.
