Nearly 36 Weeks Along...

Okay, Okay, I know I'm late in posting, but we've been pretty busy and I just haven't gotten around to writing this week.


Anyway, we had a 34 week appointment and found out that the baby is about 4.5 pounds (maybe 5 pounds by now).  We also found out that the baby's head is measuring at 38 weeks!  We knew there was a pretty good chance of having a big-headed baby, since Tony's head is quite large, but I think we were both a little shocked that it's 4 weeks ahead!  Not really though, because the legs are measuring at 36 weeks.  Anyway, everything looks good.  Doc says the baby won't be too big (I'm hoping for well under 8 pounds), it'll just have a big head.  Too bad the head has to come out first!

We had a lovely shower this past weekend in our backyard.  Pics below. Yummy summer fare, delicious cake and great company made it a wonderful summer afternoon.  We got a lot of diapers (about 550 altogether) which Tony thinks will last forever.  Boy, is he in for a surprise!  

This weekend, the focus is on clearing out some of the office furniture. We're hoping to have the baby's room at least cleared and painted by the end of the month.  We're getting there.  It's been extremely hot here (100+ degrees) so the outdoor project of sanding and painting the crib is on hold.  It's supposed to cool down a little next week.


I am also counting down the days to my leave of absence from work.  I have 8 work days left and plenty to do.  I will be so thankful for a little time off to organize the baby's things and just chill.  I plan to catch up on a few tv series I've missed.  Suggestions are welcomed.


That's all for now!
