Happy Thanksgiving... a couple days late

Playing video games with Daddy

One week Old

Jacinda had her one week check up and is doing great! She is now 8lbs 2oz, you can see it as she is getting a chubby little face. We are really enjoying Jacinda, she is such a cutie, even when she has her nightly tantrum. We also got to give her her first bath. I have to say, babies are very slippery, so it was quite a challenge for me and I feel like the poor thing had a very traumatic first bath. Hopefully next time it will be a lot better!

First time in the Moby Wrap

Today we decided to try out the Moby wrap, so that Mommy will have the hang of it when Daddy has to go back to work and won't have his second set of hands while Mommy is eating and taking care of other things. Jacinda didn't really know what to think at first since we haven't held her tummy to tummy yet, but after a little complaining and some walking around she fell right asleep. I think this will be a favorite for both of us.

Jacinda's First Day

38 weeks

Ok, so I'm a little behind in posting, but here is our 38 week picture. It may not look like I've gotten bigger, but I sure feel like it. I stopped gaining weight, so hopefully she'll be here any day! :) I still feel pretty good, but seem to be more tired than I was when I was sick. I think it just must be all the extra weight. I am better now, so I keep telling her when she stretches that she can come out now since she's so cramped in there.

I finally decided that Tuesday will be my last day at work. I am very excited, but am hoping that I don't even make it that long because I really want to see Jacinda and hold her and kiss her!! I just hope I don't sit at home waiting and not working for a week after that. It would be great if she could come before the Thanksgiving rush at Car Toys so that Jeff doesn't miss out on extra income. So, just a few little prayers you can be in agreement with. So, hopefully the next post will be announcing the birth!

Here is a picture of Polar who discovered the baby tub recently and sleeps in it every night, so it's a good thing I bought a new foam pad to put in it. Neither Peanut or Polar have discovered the actual crib to sleep in yet, which surprises me, but I'm sure once someone is in there making noises they'll start to investigate.

37 1/2 Weeks

We're almost there!! :) We would love to have our little one come early, but right now I have a cold so we definitely want her to wait until I can breathe again! Please pray that this doesn't stick around past the weekend, thank you! We had our 37 week appointment yesterday and we're going well. My blood pressure was higher than normal, but I think it has to do with my cold, nothing to worry about. Jacinda is moving down into my pelvis, so I should be able to breathe a little better as soon as my congestion goes away. We'll be going for appointments every week now until she comes, so hopefully only one more! :)
