36 Weeks


As of last Thursday I am at 36 weeks (which means 37 tomorrow!). Only one more picture to take!!

At my doctor's appointment last week he informed me that if I went into labor, they would not stop me and that I was 28 days away from my due date. I told him I had a lot more things to do before 28 days were up! I've been busy working on my list of "to-dos" and I'm feeling better about her coming. I've got her things packed up for the hospital and I'm working on gathering my things too. It could be another month before we meet her, but I want to be ready just in case she comes early! With Chloe in the mix this time, I'm thankful to use nap-times as a chance to get ready :)

This baby might be more active than Chloe was at this point ~ she moves and kicks more than I think she should be able to! Here is what babycenter.com says about 36 weeks:
Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath.

Baby Poll coming soon! :)

You look FABULOUS, Alison! I felt like my girls more active than the one before...but in my case, I think they just had less and less ab resistance!
Enjoy your last bit of pregnancy. =)

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
