Getting ready for baby
We last chatted a week ago. I hope you have all had a great week. Today, I have a few preparation and ultrasound pictures to share with you.
Washing all the baby clothes to be ready for baby P. This is our "dryer." And since it was raining like crazy, I combated humidity with a fan blowing them all day. =) I won !
Assembling the baby bouncer and folding blankets and clean clothes {also removing batteries from annoying animal noise makers... haha... little P won't even know what he or she is missing.}
What does a _______ say?
But my question is... what does the fox say? HAHA ! If you don't get it, click this LINK to watch. Be warned : you may feel a bit less intelligent in the end, but you will be up-to-speed on the pop culture fox song.
And his or her ear. 2.9cm.
And the spine. The doctor said that li'l munchkin is roughly 41cm long.
Here's an overview of the last ultrasound and our appointment with the midwife :
Baby
Baby is healthy and growing well.
85-90th percentile.
Roughly 2.2 kg (4.85 pounds).
Une grosse tête = "a big head."
Moves and kicks ALL the time {loves the bladder dance}.
Head down and probably won't move (this is a good thing).
Head a bit further down than the midwife would like.
Mommy
Doing ok. Have a little cold. I've gained 14kg (31 pounds).
I am currently on bed rest for 3 weeks to keep the little tike in the oven.
Apparently, after 3 weeks, if baby P is born, he or she won't be considered premature.
Also, doc's orders - no more singing or leading worship until after baby comes.
Daddy
He has been such a support to me and big help around the house.
He still talks to baby each night...
I think last night, he told him or her to be patient and not come out too early.
Prays often with me thanking God for our family. {Makes me teary almost every time.}
He's also leading worship AND teaching on Sundays.
So, after all that, there's a possibility we could have an early December baby... or even a mid-January baby... Tonio and I have prayed for God's perfect timing for this little one to enter the world and for my body to be ready for the delivery. We are excited to be parents, what an honor and privilege and blessing. And so I leave you with this...
