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. =)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
