Pregnancy Update

Many people have been asking how this pregnancy is going so I thought I'd write a quick update. As you can see on the baby ticker widget, we're about a week away from full term. YAY! The only due date I've been given is April 22nd, but the doctor has said that I'm measuring a little ahead of schedule. I'm not getting my hopes up still. I must say that this pregnancy is going a lot better than the last though. By this time with Ethan I was already on bed rest for high blood pressure. With this pregnancy, I haven't even had any swelling in my feet (knock on wood)! I have had a lot more practice contractions that often stop me in my tracks, but I'm hoping that it just means I won't have to be induced this time around. This baby is very active, and seems impatient to get out. As there's less and less room inside me, things are getting a lot more uncomfortable. Even just sitting up straight can be difficult. Sleeping is getting harder, and I suppose it's just getting me geared up for all those sleepless nights after the baby comes. Actually, I'm excited to finally see this baby and hold him in my arms.
We've finally decided on a name for this baby, but we're not telling... unless you really don't want to figure out the anagram. Just email us or wait til he's born.
Here's some anagrams though:
"Eligible Merman Sues a Rock." Richard made that one up. And though having two doesn't really help much, the one I came up with is, "Meek American Gerbil Souls."
Yes, I know it's a long name, the poor kid, but it'll be shortened (*hint*). Let us know if you want any other hints.
Well, now I just have to attach some pregnant pictures so you can see me in all my glory. I call the shirt I'm wearing my Easter Egg Shirt, because I think it makes my tummy look like a big easter egg.

Do the Ethan Flop!

Richard decided to put this on here tonight. I know, these last two are a break from our usual montage blogs, but we didn't want to wait until we got enough material for a montage, plus we needed variety.




Before bath time, Ethan was a little wound up so to tire him out we got him dancing. However, this time he had a new move . . . we call it the Ethan flop! I could hardly play for laughing at him. I don't know where he came up with this, but apparently being close to the ground has it's advantages.

Curly Locks

I don't really know where Ethan's curly hair came from; he had such perfectly straight hair the first year or more of his life, and now this. It's usually just kinda wavy, and this picture doesn't really do it justice, but sometimes when he wakes up from his afternoon naps he has such curly hair. I love it!
