Giant Baby Belly

December 1 at 13 weeks pregnant.


May 8
23 weeks, 28 pounds, and 14" later...

I am feeling HUGE and increasingly uncomfortable. We went down to Anacortes yesterday for our 37 week OB appointment. Dr. Garde said that I could stop taking the anti-contraction medicine tomorrow (when I will be officially 37 weeks, and Jack will be "full-term"). She also told us that while I hadn't started to dilate yet, I am 80% effaced. At least my body seems to know what it's doing, and things are moving in the right direction. Speaking of moving, Jack has "dropped" so low that the doctor could feel his head when she checked me yesterday. Good work, little boy!

So exciting!

It won't be long now and you will be holding Baby Jack in your arms.
You are a beautiful mother-to-be.

Hi Sister,

Happy Mothers' Day...a bit late. Or maybe that's a bit early. Either way, I'm proud of you and that fuzzy kid. You'll make great parents.

Guess I'd better get started knitting those booties.

LOVE!

Oh my gosh! I can't wait to be an Auntie. This is SO exciting. I also like that for the first time ever your belly is bigger than mine.

Love you! -Alicia
