Trooper with 31 days to go

by Joe Doyle on April 30, 2007

Many of my father friends have said “man, I’m glad I’m a dude”. I’m pretty sure I now know why.

Elbows, heads, feet – Stacey’s belly is constantly moving from active limbs poking at a way out (or so we like to think).

And while that would be weird enough, I can’t imagine being in a constant state of aches and pains and something new every day. Like having to pee constantly. I swear Stacey goes 25 times a day.

Or how about a new rash that won’t go away until the pregnancy ends. Talk about bummer.

We saw Dr. Cowan for the weekly visit last Wednesday. Kids’ hearts are still moving around 133 BPM. They were hiding again, so no real view of their features during the brief sono.

31 days to go is mis-leading – if we go 16 more the good doctor will go in after ‘em.

According to the guides…

Week: 35.5
Pre-born size: 20 in., over 5 lbs each.
Development: Babies should be done growing in length. Now they start to plump up. Boy is still facing the wrong direction, girl is squared away for birth.
Belly: How about that? Stacey looks good, gaining most of her weight straight out front.

The roses are going nuts this year. A little spring trim, a little manure and viola!

Man, I love your gravatar. Super.

Lots of rain this spring. Makes for bigger bellies and greener lawns.
