32 Weeks and Counting

Went to the doctors today! All is good. The baby is about 3 lbs 7 oz. (give or take 5 oz.) They're predicting about a 7 lb baby - I heard that they are usually not accurate with these predictions. We'll see. Let's just hope that she doesn't take after her father who was 10 lbs. Heartbeat was in 140s. Marcy is starting to gain weight more rapidly - 5 lbs in in the last 2 1/2 weeks (19 lbs total). We can't believe that the baby is due in 8 weeks. Time has flown by. Marcy is starting to feel PREGNANT. The baby got in the way of her cutting her toe nails the other day so she had a pedicure....sounded like a good excuse.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!
Everything is going well. After a few late nights, the baby's furniture is all put together and ready for baby. We went to the doctor last Thursday and baby and Marcy are doing great. Marcy gained another 2 lbs - 14 lbs total. We now go to the doctors every 2 weeks - next appt is Dec 9th and we'll get another ultrasound then. We went to a child birth class on Saturday. It was pretty good. Who knows if Marcy will use the techniques she learned but we feel like we're more prepared - as prepared as we can be given the uncertainty of labor and delivery. Our instructor was very entertaining and made the day go by very fast.

Counting Down

We went to a baby show last weekend and a photographer was there giving free 8x10s. It was worth the trip to the show.
We had another check up yesterday. Baby and Marcy are doing well. Marcy had the gestational diabetes test and all is good. She's gained another 2 lbs, that makes 12 in total so far. Her iron levels are back to normal and the baby's heartbeat was nice and strong. Everything is going very well.

Vacation

We went to the Outer Banks last week for a much needed vacation. The weather was awesome and we had a lot of fun, rest and relaxation. As you can see, Roger had some adventure too. Next time we go I'm trying hang gliding too.

The baby is doing well. The last doctor appointment was on the 10th and everything seems fine. He/she is moving a lot now. Marcy gained another 3 lbs but after vacation it may be more like 13 now - we found a Cold Stone Creamery near by and visited it quite frequently. Next appointment is early November when Marcy will have the Glucose Challenge test to check for gestational diabetes.

The baby's furniture is ready to be picked up and our family room floor has been installed. We need to paint the family room but then we can move stuff out of the baby's room and into the family room. Hope to have the baby's furniture in the room by next weekend.

The Baby's Room

The babies room is coming along. The room is already painted green and last night we ordered the baby's furniture. It's offwhite. The other picture is the bedding that we want. We're almost done registering. Just need to review it and delete some duplicates. We're registered at Babies R Us and JC Pennys. Hopefully we have everything we need and not too much of what we don't need. Only the baby will be able to tell us that.

Who will our baby look like?

Weren't we so cute? Who will our baby look like? Cast your vote in our poll. Marcy was bald until she was almost 2 and when Roger was born he was 10 lbs. Marcy is hoping that the baby is born with hair like Roger but is as small as she was (a little more than 5 lbs).

Baby and Marcy are growing

We had another doctors appointment and everything is going well. The baby is growing as he should and Marcy is growing too. The baby has been moving alot. Marcy feels her move a few times a day. Roger got to feel her a couple of times too. It's so amazing. We started looking at things that the baby will need...boy is that overwhelming. How can there be that many different swings? Will the baby even like the swing? So many questions, so little time.
