Happy 26th, Ryan!!

Today is Daddy's 26th birthday. Happy Birthday, Daddy!! We got Daddy a pumpkin pie from Coldstone Creamery and had some friends over to play Scene It.
Baby Ethan is 36 weeks along! At our midwife appointment yesterday, Mommy's belly was measuring right at 36 weeks and she's gained 16 pounds. Nancy was our midwife - she did the Leopold maneuver to feel around on Mommy's belly and found out that Ethan's head is down. Yay! Even though we had some activity this week, I haven't dilated or anything yet. Keep on growing, Ethan :)

Braxton-Hicks?

Mommy and Daddy went to Red Robin for dinner tonight and Mommy had a few contractions for the very first time! It felt like cramping, and came and went very quickly.

What's going on?

Mommy was at Bethesda nursing orientation today and lost part of her plug. She called the midwife office and talked to Cindy and she said that it is perfectly normal for this to happen, and we will just wait and see if anything happens!

Hiccups!

Mommy felt Ethan hiccup for the first time inside her belly today! It felt like little pops or flicks :)

34 weeks

Today Baby Ethan is 34 weeks. We had our midwife appointment today, Mommy's belly is measuring at 35 weeks and she's gained 14 pounds. All is well! We forgot our camera this week - oops!

Busy, busy day!

We had a very fun, busy day today! First, we woke up and went on the maternity tour at Good Samaritan Hospital where Ethan is going to be delivered.

Next, we had a photography session with Erin Ziegler at Ault Park for some pregnancy pictures. We had a wonderful time and are so excited we were able to have a session to document this special time!!

That afternoon, we had a baby shower thrown by Aunt Lindsay, Grandma Anne, and Aunt Amy at Lindsay's house. We had a wonderful time!

Today is also Simeon's 18th birthday. Happy Birthday!

32 weeks!

Baby Ethan is 32 weeks today. We had our midwife appointment. Mommy has gained 12 pounds total, and her belly is measuring one week ahead at 33 weeks today. Ethan's heart rate is still hanging strong in the 140's!

Today is also Aunt Haley's 11th birthday. We went in with Mammaw and Papaw and got her a cell phone :) Happy Birthday!
