The Baby is Coming... Hopefully Sooner Than Later!!

Tomorrow I'm officially 36 weeks along! I was measuring big so I got to go in for another ultrasound. I love ultrasounds... seeing the baby... getting him checked out and hearing that everything is looking great. He was practicing his breathing and it was amazing to watch. He also was puckering his tiny lips and playing with his adorable little hands.

The not so great news for me: he is nearly 7 pounds already. And at this point, he is gaining a 1/2 pound every week. If I go 41 weeks, I'm guaranteed to have a 10 pound baby to birth. Oh ya, and his head is measuring in the 98th percentile. Fun!

So, I'm hoping he comes early, or as close to on time as possible. I DEFINITELY do not want to go to 41 weeks. I'm planning on going for long walks for sure and I've heard about acupuncture being a good way to induce labor. I'll be looking into that some more - for sure!

And we are talking about names every day. It seems harder the second time around for some reason. My favorite at the moment is Owen. Something like Owen Henry Crossley. I think it is a good strong name and has a nice ring to it.

We are still taking suggestions, too - hint, hint. :)

One Proud Papa!

I don't remember the last time I've seen Pete's face light up the way it did when Jack brought his lego creation over to show off. I think it had to do something with the fact that it looked like a space ship from Star Wars. :-)

Good job, little buddy!
