Big Mama

Here we are again - posting growing shots of the Mommy. I won't lie - I like to look back at these pictures when it's all over and remember that 'insider' feeling. I also like to see how differently I carry each one which is something I don't notice unless I'm looking at a picture.The little angel (or devil . . . we shall see) is now 29 weeks along. Almost 3/4 there! On average she'll be measuring about 15 inches long now and weighing in at a whopping 3 pounds. Seems like a lot of stretching of the Mommy for a 3 pound jelly bean but so it is. So far this pregnancy has been average - the only difference is placement of the placenta - right in front which makes it hard to feel her move some of the time. Then other times she squeezes past it and scares me with a visible thump or kick that I'm not expecting.

So far no name ideas that sound just right yet. My brother is determined her name is Heath - what do you think? Too masculine? I know a lot of boy names can go both ways, but not sure about Heath. As an explanation, her posts right now are labeled with a "W". That's because back when I was sure she was a boy her name was going to be Weste. We teased she'd be a Wallace for Tyler's Dad or a Wayne for mine, hence the "W". Now that she's a girl I'm not sure any of those will work. Either way we are getting excited about how quickly she'll be coming - only 2 more months and our family of 8 will all be present an accounted for (yikes!). What an amazing adventure life is!
