Halloween Pics!!

Gwydion talked for a month about how he wanted to be a clown for Halloween. He insisted on the rainbow wig and the costume with the pompoms on the front. So we searched and searched, and finally found one.
Then, of course, 2 weeks before the big day, he changes his mind. Enter Dr. Gwydion! I guess spending all that time at doctor's offices is wearing off on him. So he wore his doctor costume to the Halloween party at the zoo, and for Trick-or-Treating. We had a fantastic time watching him interact with everyone.

Trying out the new costume. It is a little too large, but it will work!

Waiting in line at the zoo. We were really glad we got there early, and that Mommy is expecting- otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find a parking spot!

Taking a break from all that exhausting candy collecting!


Tonight' s the night! Do you think he's excited?

Wow, one of each kind! Thanks!

Mmm, more candy!

Our last stop, at Uncle Ben's house.

Poor, tired Gwydion. Making rounds is exhausting!

Appointment update! 34 weeks 4 days

I went for my check up today and mommy and baby are doing just fine. Weight gain is at a total of 17 lbs, blood pressure is 120/64. That's a little high for me, but still well within the normal range. Baby's heart rate was 160 bpm, which is just perfect. Doc says the baby is head down and feels larger than Gwydion did at this point. So we may be looking at an 8 pounder this time around. Baby has the hiccups 4-5 times a day, so we know his little lungs are getting ready to go! We don't have too much longer to go- 38 days until his due date, and any time after 37 weeks is full term. We'll start weekly appointments soon!

32 week appointment update

Not a lot going on right now. Baby is getting bigger and so am I! Our little guy should be about 3.5 lbs right now. He's moving like crazy, and likes to see how hard he can push on my belly button. His estimated due date is still Dec. 2nd, but I'm hoping he comes at the end of November. December seems so far away!

September Pics

Since it is now October, I thought I'd better get the September pics up! We had a lot of fun this month, lots of playing outside, and we even went to the Oklahoma City Railroad Museum to see Thomas the Tank Engine.

Appointment update

Everything looks good so far! I've gained 9 pounds so far, and baby is measuring right on track. The official results of the ultrasound show that everything is normal. I took a glucose tolerance test today (standard procedure, they're not worried about anything), and results should be back next week. I expect it to come back normal, so no worries there either. The next appointment is in one month. After that we'll start going every 3 weeks.

August = HOT!!

It has been really hot here, though not as bad as it could be, at least not for August. We have yet to break 100 degrees, though it is coming this week. All in all, it has been a mild summer, and we're grateful. We've been enjoying our pool and outings to the zoo. We don't have any pictures yet for this month, but here are a few that I haven't yet posted from last month.

Here's Gwydion, ready for a short road trip. He picked out his own snacks!

Here is a pic of Gwydion's new favorite critter. These are swallowtail caterpillars that have found my bronze fennel plant. They're welcome to it, as we have more than enough to share! Gwydion has a great time watching them grow.

We're having a...

BOY!

Here are some pics from the ultrasound.

And finally, the boy parts! He wasn't shy at all!
