Week 35, 5 more weeks....

This week the final touches are being added to our mini-masterpiece and most of her development is going to packing on the pounds. Some fascinating facts: Our little Karate Kid can't quite pack the punch she used to due to the limited space inside the womb these days. (Although she is wiggling and moving around like crazy!) Her liver has begun processing her waste products, so we know which organ to thank when she has her first blowout up the back of her onesie. Baby Ortyl is now about 5½ pounds and over 18 inches long!

Week 34 was a good week. I have started feeling those Braxton Hicks contractions which is a little odd, but I guess I should start getting used to them. We finished up out Birthing class, and have signed up for a Doula. We should meet her in the next week. The Baby's bedding should be here tomorrow, and then we will just be waiting for the glider. We had a nice weekend. Lots of snow. One of Greg's partners in crime Scott Malchow was in town visiting, lots of beer was consumed and basketball games watched. My sister Tina was also in town for her friends baby shower (Sally King Blaire, who is due 2 days after Baby O!). It was great to see those friends and visit one last time before the baby arrives. Tina got to feel the baby moving several times, yesterday she even got to feel the baby hiccuping! Counting down the weeks....
