2009 Pregnancy/baby thread

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!

I'm getting so excited for you Kari.
It'll be great!
I guess I should change or remove my siggy.

[finn's mom]

Yeah, still not feeling great today, but I'll be all right. I'm just going to do some light cleaning and then rest for the rest of the evening. Maybe I'll watch a movie later. I think it's just allergies messing with me, but I'm taking my temp every once in awhile to be safe.

Clara's room is so wonderful, it is the first room in my life that I've ever had a theme and really decorated, so I'm proud of it. I can't wait to get our first home together as a family and do that in every room!

I'm right at 150 now, and still feeling great overall (except the sinuses). Haven't had any real contractions (that I've noticed), but I have the practice ones pretty regularly. Not much else to report!

I hope all you ladies and babies are doing great!

I was just wondering how everyone is doing. I see that Kari hasn't updated in a few days- any news? I hope all the moms and babies are doing great!

Tomorrow Lyra will be 6 months old so I will probably post some pictures.

Lyra has really changed over the last month. She has been sleeping longer at night, usually for 7 or 8 hours a stretch- though last night she slept almost 10 hours straight! She is rolling over, and she can sit unassisted but doesn't have great balance yet. Her new favorite sound to make is blowing raspberries.

Here are some pictures of Lyra over the last month or so...

Just for fun...

What great pictures of your pretty girl! I hope you had someone take a "4 generations of women" picture for Lyra to treasure when she's a grown-up! I have one black-and-white, small grainy picture of my mom at one month old, being held by her grandmother with her great aunt and mom looking on, and it's just priceless to us!
