Shrek feet

My wife just phoned me complaining of sore and swollen feet that look like Shrek's feet.

Obviously being the caring, sensitive husband that I am, I reassured her that she did not have Shrek feet.

They're more like Princess Fiona!

Latest Doctor visit

We had a doctor's appointment today.

We were due for another ultrasound and after our last one a couple of weeks ago when the baby was already 6 lbs 6 oz we were expecting (or hoping) for her to have grown so much that the doctor would tell us it was time to get her out.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

The baby is now 7 lb 1 oz, which is perfectly normal and the doctor told us to make an appointment for next Monday as usual.

The ultrasound was more rushed than normal as the office was quite busy. The baby was not playing along so the technician took the measurements and that was about it. We couldn't really see anything so we didn't even get a picture this time.

At least we know everything is ok though.

Maybe next week..

Moving out

My wife and I were just talking about how we're tired of waiting for the baby to arrive and ready for her to move out of the womb and join us.

Then I realised that in about 18-20 years we'll be having a similar conversation wondering when she'll decide she's ready to move out and get a place of her own!

Haircut..

Today I had my first haircut in months.

I was starting to resemble Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans so it was well overdue.

The incentive was realising that the baby could arrive any day now, and when she does, photos will be taken that will be looked at for the rest of our lives so I need to look my best.

Job done!

Full term!

My wife is 37 weeks pregnant today which means the baby is full term.

Still no sign of her yet though..

Hiccups

The baby had hiccups tonight.

She's had them before but it's the first time I got to feel them.

It was a funny feeling and I couldn't help but laugh.

No news..

We just got back from our doctors appointment and there's not much to report.

Dr Hold did his checks but the baby is not ready yet.

He did say that the baby is quite big as we knew she was 6 pounds 6 ounces when we had the ultrasound on the 2nd July.

We're scheduled for another ultrasound next week so maybe we'll know more then.
