38 Weeks

Here's my baby girl; the tech says she weighs "6 lbs, 12 oz, give or take about 13 oz," lmao, so in other words, i've either got a 6-pounder, or an 8-pounder, and considering the fact that babies at this stage gain 1-1.5 lbs per week, she could end up anywhere from 8 lbs, to 11 lbs!!! So WHAT was the point of that test...? Oh well, i got some cute pics at least :P



The pic shows the bottom of her face; just 20 weeks ago, you could see her whole body in one shot, lol. i haven't been feeling "ready" for this baby, but i think i'm starting to realize that she's really on her way here, lol.

Mommy Jr.

My mom sometimes calls my daughter "Mommy Junior." What do you think?

Ryvre's Party

Here's just two; i think i have some good ones on another roll of film, but i haven't used all of it yet, so i guess that will just have to happen later on. Oh well, these two are cute :)

Ryvre blowing bubbles (that's Papa Paul, my dad, behind him)



Willow on the new swings (with Granny Melissa, Dale's mom, pushing her)



That's all for now; as soon as Dale shows me how to plug in the new camera, i'll have a ton of pumpkin patch pics to share :)

Nursing

Willow is nursing her baby doll.  Isn't that the sweetest thing?

i had an OB appointment today; i'm measuring 39 1/2 weeks at 37 weeks, lol. When he was measuring me, the nurse-dude made a comment to noone in particular (my husband and a nurse were in the room, so i guess he was talking to both) that "i'm surprised she isn't complaining; she's really running out of room in there" He also told me "You don't have to wait for your due date, you know" I think he was trying to be funny, but is that supposed to scare me? I'm scheduled for another ultrasound, so they can determine just how big my freak of a baby is. Ultrasounds are notoriously inaccurate for determining size, so i don't know if they're just looking for an excuse to induce me, or what. I can tell you right now, that is not going to happen, and they're really in for a shock when i tell them i'm not taking pain medication either. They haven't even asked me about that yet. They treat me like i'm the craziest person they've ever had walk through that office anyway. It's very sad. i guess noone else questions them.

Baby hasn't dropped yet. Mr.Nurse-Dude is very frustrated. i would be lieing if i said it didn't amuse me a bit. Am i really that crazy for wanting my baby, even though she's the size of a turkey, to finish cooking? I don't think so.

For fun, here are some pics of Dale and Ryvre to compare:
