36 week check up...

Yesterday we went for our 36 week check up with Dr. Hart. She said things are right on track. I'm 50% effaced and dialated to 2 cm - which she said was normal for this point in the pregnancy. She is estimating that Francie weighs just under 5 lbs and isn't expecting her to get much bigger than 6 lbs. before delivery. We are far enough along that it will be no big deal if I got into labor anytime between now and her due date (easy for her to say! :). We go back next Tuesday for another update!

35 weeks + 2 days

Here it is - the 35 week picture I've been promising my out of town friends. SO hard to believe we have 4 and a half weeks to go! We go back to the doctor on Tuesday - which starts our once a week visits. Ready or not......

"For this child..."

In October I ordered a tackle box necklace (has little tags that have been stamped with different things). The one I ordered has a tag with Francie's name, one with a "M", and one with this verse.

Last week this was in a baby gift from my friend, Kathy. It couldn't be more fitting!

We are 35 weeks today! Only 5 weeks to go...

Francie's Room!

It is so exciting having Francie's room all finished! Thank you so much to Mom and Beth for all of your hard work in helping me!!

So Delinquent

Ok, I know - I'm such a delinquent blogger! What in the world am I going to do when Francie gets here if I can't even keep up now?! To give you a little update .... For the most part I am pretty comfortable and feeling really good. I'm getting bigger by the day! She is certainly growing - and moving lots and lots. I'm nervous she's going to be a rounder (like her Daddy!). Her little friend Maddy just lays in her carseat - sleeping or sitting quietly. I'm afraid Amy and Jon will dread Francie coming over! Maddy is setting the bar quite high!

We are 7 weeks and 2 days away from our due date (that's 51 days if you were wondering :). Time is flying! Mom is coming in this week for one last kid-free hoorah before Francie comes. I have an agenda full of manicures, pedicures, massages, shopping, movies, and all of my favorite restaurants in Austin. I can't wait!

Cowgirls and Lace just called to let me know her bedding is finally ready. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures of her completed room soon!

Funny for the day

I saw this the other day and just had to laugh! For all of you Moms out there - I am sure you remember these days! I think my belly has doubled in size in the last two weeks. It's so fun to watch grow! Only 12 and a half weeks left....

Coming home dress

Last weekend I went to Mississippi for the first time since I've been pregnant. It was so good to see everyone - this is the longest I've gone between visits in a long time. Mom had this pink Feltman Brothers dress for Francie to wear home from the hospital.
