Baby coming soon????

So I (Laura) went to the OB/GYN Thursday. Baby seems to be doing well, other than the fact that the nutrients are going to his brain, lungs, and heart. It's called "head-sparing." and it really means that since the baby's heart is not an efficient pump, his body is not getting an adequate supply of nutrients. Therefore, Mother nature shunts the "good stuff" toward the parts that need it most. Everyone has reassured us that his body will catch up.

The other news is that I'm 50% effaced and 1-2 cm dilated. So it could be days, weeks, or a month. We'll have to see!

You Go Dara!

For those of you who are swimming fans, this is an amazing story. Dara Torres has already made her 5th Olympic team at age 41. Most of the competitors were not ALIVE the first time that she was in an olympics.

Babies like fireworks (apparently)

So Chris and I were watching the Kirkwood fireworks the other night, and as soon as the finale started, the (previously quiet) little guy kicked me REALLY hard right in my hip bone (for you PT people out there, I felt it right in my ASIS.)

Only 7.5 more weeks to go!
