1. No, Baby Long STILL doesn't have a name yet. We're working on it, but at this point a final decision probably won't be made until D-Day.
2. My due date is tomorrow! And, no, there appears to be nothing happening. We go back to the doctor on Tuesday and hope to have more questions answered as far as when this baby will arrive.
3. On Tuesday, September 22, Baby Long weighed 7 lbs, 5 oz. At the rate of a half a pound per week, he will likely be more than 8 lbs when he's (finally) born. I weighed a little over 7 lbs when I was born, but Kyle weighed over 10! It sounds like Baby Long is going to be a big boy, too. (Though not quite as big as his dad was...Thank God!)
4. We had an ultrasound last Tuesday. We think the baby is pretty cute. He seems to look a lot like Kyle. He has really wide feet, too! The doctor even commented on how wide they were. The better to kick me with, I guess.
A couple of people have asked for updated pictures of me. The picture below was taken today - at 39 weeks and six days. I've also included some pictures of the nursery. We are ready! Finally, I'd like to offer Congratulations to the Mulrooney and Dougherty families. Baby Blake Dougherty was born on Friday, and Baby James Mulrooney was born on Saturday which just happened to be my good friend, Zoe's 30th. Quite a celebratory weekend!
In our living room at 39 weeks and six days.
The nursery.
The crib with bedding made by Kyle's mom, Pat, and his Great Aunt Dot. The bedding is peacock blue, chocolate brown, lime green and white. The "theme" of the room has turned into polka dots. I guess it's only appropriate that Aunt "Dot" made the bedding.
Just another view of the nursery. Hopefully, a baby will be in this nursery for the next blog update!
