Thanks guys. We are still doing well. Trying to get adjusted.
I am calling her my little eskimo baby because of how she squints.
I'll post more pictures when I have some extra time.

Kari, how are you feeling? I know it'll be soon for you.

Carmen, she's truly adorable. I think her nickname suits her. You know we want to see photos, but take your time.

I feel great! Just getting the house ready for baby and parents. I think I picked up today the last couple things we needed (a breast pump and carrier). I have some shelves, shadow boxes and frames I want to put up in the nursery, and that will be done, too. My parents are bringing her bookcase and toy chest, so I have to wait to put out the books we have.

The external version went really well and it feels like she's still head first! YAY! We'll find out for sure on Thursday when we go in for our appointment. It's **really** different now that she's got more room to move! When she had her head, feet and hands all at the top, I felt lots of little clusters of movement, but now I actually see legs, arms, feet, etc. She's so active, it's unreal. Our doctor always laughs at her when we're doing the sonograms, because he can hardly keep up with her.

I'm so glad you all are doing well! You need to change your signature, it says you have five days to go. hahaha Just joshin' you, but it makes me giggle when I see it!

And yet another wonderful angel has arrived at Pet Talk. We are so lucky - so many beautiful girls!

Keri - saying a soft prayer that all goes well for you too!

I just tried my baby carrier on, and practiced putting a stuffed animal in it. It is so much easier than a regular wrap/sling! I can't wait to see how Clara likes it! I know I love it, and even David was comfortable wearing the one he tried on at the store (with a baby boy in it!). I'd have to get him a different size, but we'll see how Clara likes it first, and how she likes the Baby Bjorn we got. If she or David don't like the Bjorn, we'll definitely be getting him one of the carriers I got for me.

We saw the tiny heart beats yesterday via ultrasound.. It still seems so surreal to us that there's actually a precious life growing inside of me..

It's truly a miracle in the making

Oh, I'm 7w5d today

Isn't it awesome? It still blows my mind/freaks me out/makes me happy that there's an entire other human being inside of my body! The heart beat was definitely part of that amazement! It doesn't get old seeing or hearing it. At least, not for me! Can't wait to hear more updates as you get further along!

Awww, so happy for you. I too still can't believe I had a human growing inside of me. Such a miracle.

It makes a lot of problems in life look small.

Some sad news... I found out the day my baby was born that my dad may have cancer.
I had a feeling something was up...
My mom had to change her ticket. She left yesterday to see what is going on with dad.
At least she got to meet her grandchild and help me for a few days. If baby girl was born on time, she may not have gotten to meet her. Funny how things happen.
Baby Laura is giving me strength and keeping me sane.

[finn's mom]

Carmen, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I'm glad things have worked out the way they have, though, as far as Laura being here with you. Cancer is so sad.

[finn's mom]

I'm having issues with my sinuses so I'm heading to bed! But, I wanted to let you all know that little Miss Clara is behaving! She is head first, back on my left side, small parts on the right...plenty of amniotic fluid, still. She hasn't dropped, yet. We have our next appointment on Wednesday to check my progress (to see if and how far I'm dilated), and then the next appointment will be the following Monday, the 17th - her due date! That is, if she's not already here!

Glad to hear she's being a good baby! Feel better soon!
