32 weeks...8 to go...

Well, here is the belly update. It continues to grow. This past week a student from my French I class said to me, "Hey fat lady!" I was shocked and offended. Then I thought well, he is a freshman boy who doesn't know any better. Then that night I saw the mom of one of my students who said, "Hey Chubby!" My inside thought was, "At least I have a good excuse." (But even in the psycho-ness of being pregnant and saying whatever I think, I managed to kept that thought in!) The next day at school two of my students said, "Mrs. Capp we think you are the cutest pregnant lady, you should always be pregnant. You can't even tell you are pregnant from behind." Then one of them said, "I love your belly!"

So, besides feeling like a "fat lady" and being pretty worn out most of the time, things are going well. We got to meet our friends', Tom and Mindy, baby this week. He was born on Monday AM, and is cute as can be. When we met him, I thought, "Oh yeah, it really is worth it!"

The new entertainment of the belly, is "Guess that body part"! We can't tell the difference between her head and her butt, but her little feet and knees are pretty easy to distinguish.

My brother, Patrick, and his wife, Keri, are due any day now. We can't wait to meet that little nephew of ours.

I officially outweigh my husband?!

Well, I went to the Doctor today for my gestational diabetes test, and as routine I got on the scale. I was sad and sort of horrified that I now outweigh Jonathan by 1 pound. The other sad/horrifying part of this realization is that I still have 11.5 weeks to go...I wonder how much more I will outweigh him by?! Oh, well at least I have a good reason!

Baby Shower

We just wanted to say Thanks Laurel, Sarah, Maria, and Julie who helped plan the baby shower and for the lovely gifts we received. We are truly blessed by all of our wonderful friends and family! I think having a baby shower makes the growing belly seem like it really will be a real live baby in the not so far away future!

The 25 Belly Update

Here is the belly update for 25 weeks. We found out that we are going to have a new nephew or niece from Gordon and Kristin!!! Hooray! Cousins all around!

25 Weeks--Our Beautiful Baby Girl

Here is her foot, to me her big toe looks huge. Jonathan thinks she is going to have big feet!









Here is another profile of our baby. The bubble is her umbilical cord. The Lab technician said she has nice "Chubby Cheeks"!





This is her face. You can see the bridge of her nose and her eyes!
I think you can also see a leg in this picture.







We had another ultra sound today because at the last one the Dr. was afraid I might have placenta previa. So, today they checked and said that the minimum amount they like to see is 2 cm, and mine was 3 cm! So, We don't have to worry about that!

At one point during the ultrasound our baby started opening and closing her mouth and I think sticking out her tongue. She also was playing with the top of her head, which was pretty darn cute! The technician also kept saying that she was cooperating really well with what pictures she needed...I hope that is a forecast of our baby's temperament!
