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.

Baby Shower #2-May 16
Hey Quinny,
We went to a second shower this weekend for you and it was so nice. Angie and Erin hosted the shower and your grandparents, aunts, cousin, and lots of Mommy's friends came. They all brought you lots of cute and useful stuff. Mommy's pretty sure there is nothing left to buy you, which is awesome. It was so good to see everyone who I haven't seen in a while and those that I only get to see at work. Angie and Erin did such a cute job with the invitations, cake, food, and decoration and you were definitely enjoying the punch! And, as usual, all of the girls looked so cute. Here are a bunch of pictures of the shower.

Weeks 25-29
Wow Quinn,
It's been quite a few weeks--wonderful and flying by! Your dad and I have moved closer to work and closer to your grandmas'--all three of them! The new place is much smaller than our old house but the convenience is really wonderful. So we've been to the doctor a few times and you are healthy and strong as ever. You're moving all around and kicking and still hiccoughing! Mommy loves those things but there are a few discomforts I'm starting to feel as well like being uncomfortable sitting and sleeping. But overall, I still can't complain, you've been very easy!!
Here's a bump picture on April 12 at 25 weeks--definitely looking pregnant!
Mommy's work had a shower for us today and it was wonderful. There were so many people there from work and your Grammy and Daddy. The room was decorated so cute and you got a lot of cute clothes and toys and gear. You're one lucky baby. We played two games that were so fun. One was a game where different candy bars were melted into a diaper and we had to look and smell to figure out which diaper had which candy bar--it was hilarious watching everyone see the "mess' and smell the diapers. Your Daddy actually won this game which means he should be on diaper duty, don't you think! Then there was a basket full of separate little socks and each person had to try to pair as many as possible in 20 seconds. Mommy got the most--11 pairs-and the second fastest person got 9. Then a lot of people got 8 and so on. So, it sounds like the "pair" of us might make good parents after all!
Jennifer made this adorable diaper cake--it is soooo cute I don't even want to take it apart!
Priscilla's cousin made this cake. Not only was it adorable, it was good!!
The room was decorated so cute. The girls, and Justin, worked really hard and I am so thankful for them going out of their way for us.
A few of the game shots...
And, we got tons of presents--way more than we would have thought and it was so much fun seeing all the cute stuff!!

Weeks 20-24
Hi Poppy!!!
It's sure been a long time, or at least it seems so. We've had so much going on these last few weeks with a vacation, selling our house, and getting things ready for you that it's been hard to sit down and update your blog. But the next few weeks are not going to get any better so Mommy better just take this time now while your Daddy is still sleeping (she can't wait until you're born and he doesn't get to sleep in so late!!) and write.
We had a wonderful vacation the 2nd week of March, when you were 20 weeks, and you were an awesome sport. You enjoyed eating so much cruise food and Mommy's afraid that you're only going to like soft serve ice cream because there was no shortage on the ship and you already have taste buds! You swam with dolphins in Roatan, rode on the back of a scooter around the entire island of Cozumel, and drove a golf cart around Costa Maya. You are already very adventurous and Mommy hopes you'll love being outside hiking and walking and hopefully running as well as your Grammy Wandie and Auntie Megan.
This is Mommy at exactly 20 weeks, only 20 more weeks until you're due, in our cabin on the cruise ship.
You seem to have been some good luck for us this month. We got a sold our house and are leasing it back for a month which means by the time we move at the end of April, Mommy will be useless for carrying boxes (thanks Quinn!!!). Daddy's been trying to figure out how he's going to arrange your furniture in your new room. Which, speaking of furniture, lookie here. Your crib and toy chest are totally done and Daddy even put in your bedding to surprise Mommy when she came home. It looks so awesome. Your Daddy is very, very talented.
Oh and your Grammies got your stroller already and Daddy put it together and has been wheeling it all around the house! It's awesome and we can't wait to get you in there and show you off.
We also had a couple of sonograms this month and you are getting so big. These pictures were taken on 4/1 when you were 23 weeks and 3 days. You were moving all over the place yet yawning. Most people would think this is strange, but Mommy yawns even when she's working out so it makes perfect sense to her! At our last sonogram, you were sucking your thumb. It was quite cute! Daddy is able to feel you kicking and hiccoughing more and more these days. I guess since you weigh 1 1/2 pounds already, you're not so hard to feel. Mommy feels you all day long!
Ahh the yawning--we love the yawning! Seeing your cousin Ellie over the last month, we know these yawns will be a normal occurrence.
Here's another side profile. It looks like you have a cute, little nose.
You're looking at us dead on in this picture. It was hard to catch with you moving around so much!
