11 Days

Hard to believe that this baby is due in 11 days! I have definitely been enjoying my maternity leave – though I wish I had more energy! I’m definitely starting to slow down a bit. My lower back has been hurting – which the Dr. attributes to the fact that the baby is facing the wrong way. At least Dubs is head down! I’m just hoping that the baby will turn itself around and face the right way before I go into labor – since I’m told that back labor is pretty painful.

Today we met with a car seat specialist to make sure that our car seats were installed properly. The guy said he had never seen someone install a seat base as well as Jeff had – so I know that Lil Dubs is in good hands :-) I, on the other hand, need a bit of training. Thankfully I don’t think I’ll have to mess with the bases much – and if I do, I know that Jeff will have it covered!

Had our 38 week appointment today.
Dubs is still big, but still content inside Ash.
Doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing him/her anytime soon.

The baby pool is closing today.
SIXTY-EIGHT responses!!!! That is AWESOME!
A rundown of the results.
People are guessing 60/40 split for a boy.
Over half of the responses say Dubs will be between 6.85 an 8.35 lbs.
(Hate to break to all of you, but Dubs weighed in @ 8.19 lbs this morning.)
Two-thirds say Dubs will be tall.
60% also say Dubs will be late.
I hope you are correct on those two (especially the late part).
And it’s a pretty even split on the time of day.
I’d say that’s a pretty good baby pool we have here.

Bonus points……where do the pictures above come from?

Got both of the car seat bases in last night.
We have an appointment on Thursday to make sure they are in correctly.

Showed our apartment to some potential tenants…..hope they sign.
If thye do, we can move out early and save some $$$.
