Fun Baby Facts:
According to babycenter.com, Baby girl is about 7 1/2 pounds (the weight of a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long. Herskull bones are not yet fused, which will allow them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. As long as baby girl is in my belly, her hair and nails will continue to grow, and her lungs will keep developing.
How Am I Doing?
I am 40 weeks pregnant...how would you be doing? Let's just put it this way...I cannot imagine how my belly could get any bigger or that my feet could swell any more. Up to this point, I have had no contractions but every part of my body aches.
Ray's mom was here last week and was a huge blessing, as she cleaned, cooked and began packing boxes. Saturday night my mom flew in and Ray's dad showed up a few days early to help Ray with the work we're doing on the house. It's been really nice having the extra hands around to get help get things done.
The last few days my mom and I have walked, eaten spicy food, walked, cleaned, shopped, walked some more...you would think that combination we would've started to get a little closer to seeing baby girl, but so far, no such luck. I guess she's going to be a little stubbong like her mama and is going to come on her own schedule. My next doctor's appointment is tomorrow morning, so we will see what the doctor says and find out how long they will let me go before inducing.
Ray has made a ton of progress on the new house this week...painting, patching holes, fixing some of the electrical and other little things around the house. Tomorrow he and his dad will start on sanding and refinishing the hard wood floors throughout the house. I'll post some "progress" pictures tomorrow.
We're anxious and all ready for baby girl to come. Hopefully she'll come soon!
Blessings,
Ray, Summer & Baby Girl
