Almost There ...

Our 34 week appt. was perfect! Everything is still right on track and the Dr. guessed that Miss Ellie is about 5 lbs. now! I was supposed to start having appts. weekly now but since everything has been so "normal" I don't go in for 2 weeks. I'll have my 36 week check up, then start going weekly! I weighted 149 ... so for sure in 2 weeks I'll be up to, and probably past, the 150 mark! *sigh* Thank God for healthy babies ;o) Ellie has officially run out of room to move. She'll continue to grow no matter how comfortable is for me, but stretching her little legs is out of the question! I have a little butt in my ribs making it feel like I've been beaten and bruised the entire right side of my ribcage. There's also some feet in my side and when I get kicked or she stretches as far as she can, it feels like I just sprinted 20 miles and have a side ache. After 36 weeks Ellie will be considered "Full Term" so whenever I go into labor after that is A-OK! Maybe at my exam on the 29th there will be some progress and I won't actually have to wait until May 25th!!! Sooooo, that's it for now. Another update in 2 weeks!! :o)

hey this is jenny- so I just checked myspace after like a million years and saw your blog thing. I am not really a blogger, as I never even check myspace. But glad the appt was good. yay Ellie is 5 lbs, so is Alessa. How the hell can I not gain weight. LOL. I was 139 at the last appt no shitting you. I was like, wha???? So like last night I dipped a bunch of these thai coffee cookies( that have been in the house for a year) in frosting ...didnt even taste that good...but just cause I am trying to see why I keep losing. Watch, the baby is going to be a tubster or something ....id laugh sooo hard...

Don't be too impatient. David and I were starting to get that way, but when Hayden arrived a week late and almost 8 pounds...we were grateful that she was very healthy and fully developed. It was nice having a little bit bigger baby too. She didn't seem so fragile! Hope you continue to do well, good luck!
