Missed 35 week update and Easter pics

I don't really know how I missed it...but I did miss it.

I guess at this point not much seems any different-well-formed baby getting bigger: check.

Well formed momma belly getter bigger: check.

Erratic emotions and hormones: check.

Baby in unknown but likely non-head down position: check.

Daily (sometimes twice daily) need for pepcid: check, check.

Just for more fun, my BIL Jason thinks he has the guess for Griffin game in the bag...so he took home his prize already-he was awarded with 2-yes 2 bottles of skintimate shave gel. If he doesn't turn out to be the winner, no worries, I still have tricks up my sleeves. You'll see his mug below and why shave gel was the perfect prize for him.

I delivered Jacob at 34 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed in at 5 pounds 13 ounces...so little Griffin here might not be so little. I am 35 weeks and 3 days today-the word is babies can gain 1/2 to one pound a week in the final few weeks. So, if I hold off until my c-section date and hit the 37 week mark, I'd guess Griffin will be at least 7 pounds and it won't surprise me if he's much more of a heffer;-)

I'm definitely in the fun stage of wondering if he'll have hair, if he'll look like his brothers, etc. But, I'm also in the not so fun continued state of concern...it's just a "I know too much about labor, delivery, and childbirth" deal but it can be a real downer.

Today I have my long appointments (super triple ugh)-with monitoring, an ultrasound, and seeing my MD. Too bad frequent flyer miles or something can't be rewarded for the number of hours spent in his office. I will update if there is anything worthy afterwards. I also have montoring on Friday. I will then see him for a long appt one last time next Tuesday and then it's D'day on the 24th...the end is so in sight-11 days!!!

Onto Easter:

It was a nice weekend. We had great weather and I had a house filled with family. I was spoiled with gifts for Griffin and little surprises and such all through the weekend. Owen's response to Easter was probably my highlight though-he loved hunting eggs and trying new flavors and textures...he was all about the peeps. "These are good, mom, mmmmmmm." he said with such clarity and sincerity. "Fank-you".

Here are random pics from the 2 days:















Hope you had a nice Easter as well.

PS my spelling/grammar checker was down so this is the best proofing I could do at 8am;-)
