My last checkup for 2/20 got cancelled because the doctor was sick. I've re-scheduled to Monday 2/25. I'll almost be at 35 weeks and be about a month away from the 3/26 date that I am anticipating. So, I am going to really push for them to make it official and get me scheduled.
Once it's scheduled it is of course just "Plan A" and totally subject to Baby C deciding he'd rather have us follow Plan B. But it will be nice to make plans that at the latest we'll have a baby around 3/26.
The last few days he seems anxious to get out and has been extremely active just about the entire day. There was a time that he was pretty calm and quiet in the morning hours. Now he's been starting at breakfast time through until bedtime. So, we'll see if he stays put for the big C-day.
Take care and talk to everyone soon.

33 weeks, 5 weeks + to C-day
Boy is it easy to get busy, busy, busy. I've been postponing posting because I wanted to put an updated picture up here. The one from early January I think I didn't really stand sideways enough and so it makes me look so tiny. By now, it's been a few weeks since we last took a picture though. We are due again for a new one because I feel like there's been another growth spurt.
I'm starting to wonder how I've managed to fit more growth in again. And even more so, wondering how these next 5 weeks are going to go! I feel so stretched out and full now.
Baby C continues to work up new moves. Lately a fist or foot gets pushed out really high up near my ribs. For a baby who has been sitting so low through my pregnancy, now he's getting me up high too. Thankfully though, still at this point, once we get into a comfy spot at bedtime, for the most past I am able to sleep through the night.
Caleb is doing really excellent and we've been reading a book that a friend gave us about being a big brother. He's been asking for it and he will answer questions like if I ask him what he thinks the baby needs. So I think we are in as good a place as we can be for now. The actual arrival of his baby brother is sure to bring out a lot of different emotions and behaviors to be worked through.
We've painted the nursery and set up the crib with the mattress back up in its highest position. Caleb of course helped with Daddy's tools. Still some little things to do and to get but at least the most crucial things we still have from Caleb.
Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to get some updated pictures posted in the next day or so. Take care!

Life at 30 weeks, 9 weeks to C-day
Well, we still don't have an official date for the C-section but at my checkup yesterday, the doctor confirmed my feeling that I could probably figure about 1 week before my due date. Due date= 4/2/08, one week before = 3/26/08. So, that's when I've got my sights set. We'll likely schedule it at 35 weeks.
All is looking good and normal. Baby C has definitely grown and is regularly moving around and kicking, making himself known. It still catches me by surprise sometimes and it's weird to be sitting reading a magazine and have it move a bit when he kicks or moves around in there.
I've managed after a Disney weekend to catch myself another cold. This one is worse than the last time as my nose is very stuffy. I was amazed last night that I did get some relief to sleep. I am giving thanks for that. Would be nice if it would clear up today though. It is day two of feeling just like this and not too much fun not to be able to breathe! I figure I'm on day four of the cold and so hopefully it will start to ease up soon.
Now that we've had one last hurrah to Disney for just our little three person family, now it's time to buckle down and get the nursery ready. Time to start saving up for the extra diapers and goodies that Baby C will need. And maybe time for me to start resting up on the weekends while I can at least a little.
Hope everyone is doing well and taking care.

Checkup today, life at 28 weeks
Boy, I realized in looking at my Pregnancy Journal today that next week I will move into the beginning of my 8th month. Seemed like I was stuck in a bit of limbo for awhile there but now I'm almost 8 months along. Then that means I have about two months left. That sounds pretty good, two is a nice small number.
I had a regular checkup today and had another bit of a surprise in that I will now have checkups every two weeks. Again, just didn't feel like I was that far along. I forgot when the more often checkups started.
Of course on the flip side, I have been more aware of the last few pounds I've put on since the last checkup. I definitely feel like Baby C has had a growth spurt. This is wonderful for him but all of a sudden, I feel very full of baby! He still kicks very low a lot but rib pain and regular doses of Tums are starting to come back. I remember this part!!!
I know we are way overdue for a new picture. I'm hoping this evening to take one before I change out of my nicer work clothes into the comfy stuff I like to wear in the evenings. One has to be ready for all of kinds of imaginative adventures with Caleb. We could be pirates one minute and then have a marching band parade a few minutes later.
Thankfully nothing out of the ordinary is happening and I am continuing to have a nice, quiet pregnancy. Even did well on my Gestational Diabetes test and have nothing to worry about in regards to that. Which is very good since my cravings have been more for sweets and goodies lately.
So, until next time, hope the new year continues to treat you and yours very well and we'll talk to you soon.
Take care,

P.S. Added a new poll for ha has. I know the last one was very tough to vote. Once I post a newer picture, maybe that will help for guessing on Baby C's weight.
