34 weeks, 3 days--June 17, 2010

Quinny,

Mommy just wanted to give you a quick update. We went to the doctor on the 17th and you, my little dear, already weigh 6 1/2 to 7 pounds, at least, per the doctor! So much for where the books approximate! You're going to be big, between 9 and 10 pounds at 40 weeks and considering your Mommy's family has babies 2 weeks late, that would make you between 10 and 11 pounds! Mommy has been doing too much "good" eating! We have another appointment in two weeks so we'll see where you are then. That might be the week we get an ultrasound, or it might be the week after, but it will help the doctor figure out if you need to come out early so no c-section is needed! We don't think we'll be needing those newborn clothes we have at all since they are all up to 8 pounds and it sounds like you'll be past 8 pounds even if you come out 1 or 2 weeks early!

34 weeks, 1 day--June 15, 2010

Hey Quinn,

Check out how big you've gotten!

You're 19-22 inches and about 5-6 pounds approximately from what the books say. The doctor says you're going to be a big baby and at our appointment two weeks ago, you were measuring two weeks ahead, so let's hope you slow it down or come early so you come out easy!

You are a busy kiddo. You are constantly squirming around and still have hiccoughs all the time, almost once a day. Mommy is very tired these days but has a hard time sleeping because she just can't get comfortable. Her back hurts, you should see how swollen her feet, ankles, and calves are, and she can't keep up with Daddy when she walks anymore. She's gained 43 pounds as of this morning and is hoping that number sticks! You're definitely getting plenty of nutrition and plenty of junk. Hopefully that doesn't pass on to you when you're eating solid foods because Krispy Kreme and Pop Tarts will definitely be off your menu if Mommy has her way!

We can't wait to see you. Your sheets are being washed right now and Daddy's ready to make your bed. It's hard to talk about much else besides you and every day seems like forever because we're ready for you today.
