For the 1st time yesterday, Oden told me… “don’t kiss me.” Of course this was during one of my moments when I’m smothering him w/ kisses. I just can’t help it! He is so darling I just can’t give him ONE kiss. I like to pretend like I’m eating him up I guess [...]

Baby Shai doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that he’s approximately over 18 inches long. Because it’s so snug in my womb, he isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some [...]

Baby Shai now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help him regulate his body temperature once he’s born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as [...]

Today was incredibly warmer than it has been. It got up into the 50’s. A huge change from the recent 20 degree F weather. So Oden and I spent a good hour outdoors today soaking up the “heat” and sun. It felt good. We played over at the pond by our house. Oden was digging [...]

Today after storytime at the public library, I tried to take Oden for our usual walk along Carroll Creek. It was a beautifully sunny morning although intensely windy and COLD! At first we were shielded somewhat by the buildings from the wind so it didn’t seem so bad. But soon enough it was so blistering [...]

The average 32 wk baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in my uterus. At our perinatal ultrasound appointment this week though we learned that he is a whopping 4lbs 3oz!! So he’s growing beautifully I’m gaining about a pound a week now and roughly half of that [...]

My dear sweet Oden says the most lovely things to his Mama (ME!!)… This morning he was cuddling me and telling me that “you a pretty girl.” He’s only 2.5 years old and a charmer already!! Just like his Daddy, oh are the ladies going to love him!
He’s also still eating and sleeping well.
He’s getting [...]

This week, baby Shai measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He’s moving a lot, too, so I am sometimes having trouble sleeping because his [...]
