Baby updates

I'm now at 39 weeks, but my belly stopped growing and I haven't gained more weight so tomorrow they want me to have another ultrasound to check on her size. I'm still hoping to work through this week and other than being tired (again) I feel pretty good.
I had two get togethers with girl friends over the last week, one out to dinner night and one scrapbooking morning, both were great with small groups filled with quality time. I can't believe how quickly September, and the whole pregnancy for that matter, have flown by. I miss several things about not being pregnant, but I know I will miss being pregnant as well - feeling her move is so incredible and people are so nice to you! But to bend over again, see my belly button, roll over, drink wine will be wonderful.

Belly Time

Sorry for the quality, I'm trying to work on more pictures! These are from baby showers and the bottom one is with my neighbor who is expecting a boy in January.

Getting closer!

I'm now 37 weeks along - which is considered full term. Our bags for the hospital are mostly packed and here is a picture of the crib!Bob's mom made the bumper pad. She's working on the cradle too and then I'll post a picture of it. We just got a changing table, but we're still looking for a rocking chair. The drapes are super cute, thanks again to Bob's mom, but not up until we get the windows replaced.

Our showers have set us up pretty well, family and friends you are a blessing! We have just under 1/2 of the cloth diapers, all the crib bedding, blankets and stuffed animals. We are in need of the changing pad and covers, glass bottles, breast pump accessories, the diaper spray off thing, diaper pail liners (reusable waterproof kind), the baby web monitor, rug for the room, diaper drying rack, the high chair accessory seat and sleep sacks. Thank goodness for the gift cards to Amazon and Target!

Sweet, Sweet Blackberry

Another doggie friend of ours has passed into doggie heaven. Blackberry, a mini version of Lulu and just as sweet, had lime disease and her kidneys were failing her. May she no longer be in pain, may the squirrels in doggie heaven be just as much fun to chase, may she eat all the people food she wants, go for long walks, may her tail wag just as much and may she not be lonely waiting for her people to join her one day (in the distant future.) Thank you for all the wonderful time spent chasing Lulu, letting her chase you and showing us California through your eyes.
