SQUASH!




Baby Belanger is now about the weight of a butternut squash...and about 14 inches according to websites i've been reading!! Amazing!!

I had a checkup last week. I have gained 3 lbs since last month, and I forgot to ask the doctor how many cm large my belly is! The heartbeat was 140's again, very good! My glucose test came back just fine so that's good, I won't have to take the longer one! WHEWW.

I've still been feeling really, really well. I had a little bit of pain last week when I was standing up but thank goodness it went away! Dr said it was normal. The baby is kicking more than ever, I love it so much! When I was at my appt they gave me a sheet to help me start counting kicks. They said I need to find a time every day to lay and feel for 10 kicks and see how long it takes.

Today I signed up for Childbirth classes....they will start in less than a month. I can't wait for Ian to learn more about all this stuff :) He is going to faint.

We also bought the crib this week, thanks to Auntie Dooey and ChiChi for helping with that. Mom just bought AWESOME fabrics for the quilt and then we will start painting. It's all approaching very fast!! No name yet, though, it's okay to wait til the last minute for that, isn't it???

:). Love reading about what's going on in there. Aunt Beth and I would like to have a shower for you~will you be back in MI anytime (either before or after the baby comes)? Either way, would you send us a list of MI people that you would invite? That way we can do one by mail if we have to. But we really want to do one in person, and we would really like to hold that little baby. Love you, Laura! Enjoy school today!
