I think these pictures are actually between 37 and 38 weeks…but closer to being 38 weeks, so we’ll call it that.  Ethan wanted to pose with me. =)

Well, we made it to 37 weeks!  I had a doctor appointment this afternoon – everything is right on track!  He told me that he can’t actually tell me I’m not having this little boy this weekend…but he doesn’t have any reason to think that I would!!  Yay!

Last Friday, we reached the 33 week mark.  We’ve got 4-7 weeks left (preferably 6 weeks).  B2 is the size of a pineapple right now: 19 to 22 inches long and 4.9 pounds.  They no longer make predictions as to how big your child will be at birth…but this is the average size of babies at this stage.

On Saturday, we toured the hospital where B2 will be born.  Ethan was born at a hospital just north of downtown Denver which was a 40 minute drive from our house.  B2 will be born at a new hospital only 15 minutes away.  It is a beautiful hospital and I think it will be a smooth process!  I was kind of hoping I could just go into labor and bring home our sweet baby while we were there…. =)

We went to the doctor late Monday afternoon.  32 weeks…only 5-8 weeks left (can you tell that I’m hoping for a little bit earlier than my due date?!)  Everything is moving along smoothly.  We’re both healthy as can be and have no reason to expect that there be any complications.  B2 has his head down already and kicks VERY regularly; she seemed happy about that.  And even though I’ve been feeling pain from him being so low these days, she said that was normal and I just needed to try to avoid picking E up as much as possible.

Plugging away…only 12 weeks to go (or possibly even just 9!).

I had the drink-gross-sugary-drink-in-five-minutes-and-get-your-blood-drawn appointment on Monday.  Yuck.  All things considered, though, it went well.  Everything looked great – B2 is right on track in terms of his growth (as am I! haha).

We’re predicting Thursday, Dec 1 for B2’s birthday…late in the evening, so that Mike has enough time to get home from the airport before bringing me to the hospital. =)

Here I am at 26 weeks.  Apparently the 3rd trimester hasn’t officially begun, yet… (I know this by looking at my “What to Expect” app).  B2 is the size of a cucumber – 15 inches long already and 2.2 pounds.  Only 13 weeks to go…or maybe 10! =) Besides having a cold, I am feeling pretty well.  Getting more and more tired these days, but nothing too crazy.

So here’s a little B2 update…he’s moving around all the time!!!  I have a check up next Tuesday (23rd) morning.  I’m 23 weeks along now and I’m feeling pretty well.  I have been getting tired more and more quickly though.  It’s only 8:30 here and I could crawl into bed any minute.
