Belly Shots

I have been feeling so big lately... I decided it was time to take another picture, even though it's only been 3 weeks since my last one.

I may still have another month of this, but it seems to me that if I keep growing at this rate I am going to tip over.

Molly has been moving around a lot the last two days, which is very reassuring after being pretty quiet on Thursday. It freaks me out when she isn't moving much.

Today we are 36 weeks, 2 days pregnant (in the 37th week). Molly could come any time now and she'd be considered "full term" (they wouldn't do anything to delay it). I'm not ready for her to be here quite yet, though. Fortunately, I've had no signs that she's planning to head out any time soon.

The weather has finally topped 100-degrees. My ankles and feet are now swelling... and Adam was just commenting on how my legs look "purplish"... like they aren't getting enough circulation. I need to spend more time in the pool.

Molly is just perfect... or so it seems!

Had an ultrasound today to see how Molly was positioned. She's head's down and all looks good! The pictures this time around are really blurry because she's getting so big.

Here's one of her foot.

Hi this is daddy Adam

Wendy has finally given me permission to write on the blog.

One of the biggest issues with the pregnancy so far is the lack of sleep we are getting. Wendy doesn't sleep because she is uncomfortable and I because I am so stressed about the new baby.

Here is a picture of me being stressed out.

Put together our new swing!!!

This past week, aunt PJ and aunt Jane took me out to get baby stuff... one of the things we picked up was a new cradle swing! Adam just finished putting it together.

It looks great, doesn't it? She's gonna be so spoiled. :)

Molly grows...

See the progression of my belly as Molly grows in months 6, 7 and 8.

We are 33 weeks, 2 days pregnant in the most recent picture.

Things are still going smoothly. Molly is kicking much harder these days, although it is much clearer when she's sleeping versus being active. Can't quite tell what position she's in, though.

Hope everyone is having a HAPPY EASTER!!!

Molly Guessing...

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday morning. Everything is on track. Molly's still growing well, my tests are all perfect and feeling pretty good.

No telling when she'll come. We've got another ultrasound scheduled for April 24th and we'll see what position she's hanging out in. It seems like a long way away... but the last month went quickly, so I'm guessing this one will too. There's this free online "baby pool" and I thought it would be fun to set one up around guesses with Molly. I put in a guess, but I really am clueless at this point.....

Feel free to guess!

Molly's a couple of months away!

Since we have family and friends spread out across the United States, Adam and I thought it would be great to set up a blog where we could give updates on our daughter, Molly. I don't expect to be hitting the page often until we start creeping up on our due date.





Molly is due on May 25, 2007.
