Update on Baby

We've had plenty of posts lately about our Super Sam. So I suppose it's time for a baby update.
I went to the Dr. today (for 2 hours! - mostly just waiting, ugh!) and found out the following:

  • it is definitely a girl (prior to today, the Dr. and the ultrasound tech were only "pretty sure")

  • according to the ultrasound she weighs 5 pounds 5 oz.

  • according to the ultrasound she will be ready for delivery on May 7th (yea!)

  • she has a strong heartbeat and all other body parts/functions are healthy

  • she's a "smart baby" because she's turned head down

  • she still has a perfectly round head

We are super excited for her to arrive! I've been cleaning and purchasing plenty of "pink" for the nursery (when it get's closer to being done, I'll post some pics). Sorry everyone, we still haven't decided on a name...good thing we have a few more weeks for that.


How's Michelle?

  • I'm doing great.
  • I'm a lot more tired and don't seem to get much done, but I feel pretty good all around.
  • I've been experiencing some terrible heartburn lately (no ice cream after 10!).
  • I didn't gain any weight from my last appointment to today, which means I'm still not back up to my pre-pregnancy weight (seriously, this is the best weight loss plan I've ever been on).
  • I'm really hoping she's born before her due date - like a week or two before would be lovely.
  • I love feeling her move and kick, even though it's not super comfortable anymore.

I'm glad both of you are doing so well! I hear you about the no energy, I don't have energy to get anything done either (which is not good with a move coming up soon). You look great- such a cute pregnant lady:) Good luck finding a name.
