Things are good around here. Counting down the days (4 weeks on Tuesday) until baby Grace's arrival. We are getting super excited! We set the bassinet up in our room this weekend. Nichole and I took Jack to Disney today. Hopefully we will be returning on Saturday. Got to get as much as I can of Disney before my pass expires next month. I guess we aren't going to renew our passes right away. We went on the boat ride in Mexico then had lunch in Mexico. Jack was a perfect little boy through the entire dinner, which was GREAT!!! When Nichole got him out of the high chair we noticed that his gray sweatpants were soaked entirely. I thought he must've spilled his apple juice, but no... He is having some major stomach issues. I wanted to go home, but she convinced me that we could take him to the baby care center to wash him up and then buy him some new clothes.

I'm glad that she convinced me to stay because it really was fine. We then took him on Nemo, Figment, and the big ball. He loved it all!

I have a dr. appointment on Wednesday, so I will update then with the new stats. :)

33 Weeks


Jack's new thing is to look at you and scrunch up his nose with a big fake smile. That's what he is doing here:
A picture from the time he fell asleep in the car.
Wearing an outfit that 3rd cousin, Emma, gave him for Christmas.
Just a quick update... I had a 33 week appointment yesterday. Everything checked out well for the most part. My blood pressure was what is always is - 110/68. Her heart was beating at 138 beats a minute, which is very good. When they measured me with the tape measure, I was only measuring at 30 weeks (hard to believe when you see the size of me!), so the doctor wanted me to come back today for an ultrasound to make sure everything was developing fine. It turns out she is just positioned funny, making my stomach measure inaccurately. She is completely breech with her head way up in my rib cage, which would explain why I'm always out of breath and why I've been feeling her get the hiccups way up high. This just means that I have to have a c-section, which I am anyways, so no concerns with her being breech. The technician checked the placenta again, and it is perfectly positioned. Everything is great and healthy! March 23rd is coming very quickly. I'm hoping she doesn't make an entrance before that. Here are pictures to compare the way I carry. The first picture I just took the other day, and the second one is around this same time with my pregnancy with Jack. You can tell that Jack is way torpedoed out, while Grace is stretched up high. Her estimated weight is 4 lbs. 14 oz., which falls in the 50th percentile. I think we may have a normally sized kid this time!!!
Congrats to Katrina, Trent, and big sister Paige on the arrival of their precious Wes, born on February 4th. Can't wait to meet him!!! It's ***so*** hard to live this far away when things like this are going on.
I'll try to update again soon with more pictures. :) Keep in touch.
