Nursery is Ready...and waiting!







Still pregnant!



With Kevin at my mom's house.

with mom. 39 weeks, 3 days pregnant.
Could this be the last time I see them pregnant? !!
Just when I thought I couldn't get any puffier....still puffing out!  Clearly this is good for the baby and I have provided a hospitable environment.  But, I would prefer to have the baby sooner than later as the carpal tunnel keeps getting worse....just sayin'.  Baby seems to be a procrastinator just like Mommy---we do things on our own time schedule.

Last Ultrasound



2/21/11: 35 weeks, 4 days. Dr. Margono estimated baby to be 5lbs, 11oz and guessed he/she will be born weighing 8lbs in 3 weeks time! We shall see.....
In this picture, it looks like the baby is squinting his/her eyes closed and is sucking on his/her wrist---the wrist is bent down so the hand is hanging--can you see it?

Making a path

Here is Brian using the snowblower to make a path from the road to our front door. This makes it more convenient for drivers to reach the door with very large packages.....and Grammy can make it up the path in her walker. Both essential reasons for the hard work!

Nursery Renovations Complete!

Getting ready for Baby Fuller.  Started with a room with old carpet, a gross ceiling fan with no light, 4 walls painted 4 different colors, and original sliding closet doors.  Discovered a pathetic insulation job:  when the house was built, attic insulation was installed by blowing it in through holes in the walls from the outside of the house.  Even better was the fact that the holes were never patched prior to installing the siding on the house or the drywall in the room.    So, Brian had quite the project on his hands.  Project began in August 2010 and was complete with furniture on Jan 26th, 2011.  We got lots of help from Kevin M, Brian H, and AJ.  No rush to get everything done, since baby isn't due until March.
green wall, yellow wall, ugly blue carpet 

yellow wall, blue wall....the closet wall was painted purple.  someone had decision making issues upon painting this room originally.  Oh and old gross brown ceiling fan.
holes in the walls...ugh! 
Re-insulating the room
getting the drywall installed

walls and ceiling are primed and painted.  Ready for new floors. 
Beautiful!  New ceiling fan/light, new floors, new walls, new furniture....ahh...complete!  Waiting for baby now.

31 Weeks

For my birthday, we escaped to a hotel in Saratoga with a pool...I really wanted to try swimming during pregnancy and it's a bit tough in the winter, so a hotel was the answer!  It was a great escape and a very cool experience to be in the pool.  Swimming was quite difficult as I felt like I had a bowling ball weighing me down, but I really enjoyed moving around in my bigger body.  :-)

29 Weeks

We went to the OB today for the monthly visit.  Our appointment was with one of the midwives in the practice.  The belly measurement was 28 inches and the heart beat was 130.  She noticed that the baby was getting excited as she continued to listen to the heart beat and I guess it was speeding up.  The baby's head is down and the butt is on my right side.   Lots of movements today, and well, for the last 5 weeks or so!  The midwife said there is still room in there for baby to continue doing flip flops...hopefully the last flip ends in a similar position with baby's head pointing down.  We shall see!

Saturday we attend the marathon Lamaze class at the hospital.  Must bring many snacks!

Baby's kicking


Here is a frequent position for my hands! This was Christmas Eve and I felt a hard part--perhaps it was an elbow or knee or something. So intriguing!
