Thirty-Eight Weeks!



Wow, right now you weigh approx. 6.5 lbs. and measure 19.5 inches long! Since we only have 8 days remaining until your expected due date, this will be the last official update until you are born. The next update will include your birth announcement supported by all of the incredible photos that we plan to take!

Your Mommy has had an extremely busy week. She was able to finish your nursery and it looks absolutely fantastic! I have posted a picture of your crib and will plan on exposing the rest of the nursery during your first day at home. Your Mommy has also finished packing her hospital bag and is all prepared for the trip to the hospital. She has done an incredible job taking care of you and has sacrificed so much! You are so fortunate having her as your Mommy!

Your Nana Bammel arrived in England this past week and will be staying with us for the next couple of months helping us care for you. We are so greatful for her support!

Thirty-Six Weeks!



Here is a picture of Mommy being examined by the mid-wife. The purpose of this exam was to determine how you are presently positioned. We found out that your back is facing the right side of your Mommy's belly, your butt is right up there near the middle of her rib cage, your feet and hands are facing the left side of her belly and your head is starting to engage into the pelvis. The mid-wife informed us that you are positioning yourself perfectly for your soon to be arrival!
