35 Weeks!


Olivia:
This week the final touches are being added to our mini-masterpiece and most of her development is going to packing on the pounds.
Our little Karate Kid can't quite pack the punch she used to due to the limited space inside hotel womb these days. I feel more wiggles, stretches and rolls than kicks and jabs. The extra layer of fat our baby is adding will create those cute dimples on your baby's elbows and knees. Her liver has begun processing his waste products.
Olivia's nails are growing so long they may curl over the tips of his tiny fingers and toes before he sees a pair of clippers. She'll be in serious need of a pedi once she's born.
Mommy and Daddy:
Rudy has been taking such good care of me as we endure the last couple weeks. One day this last we he came up with a brilliant idea to prop my whole body up on pillows so that I was able to get more sleep. It was indeed comfortable, however, it only lasted until my fist midnight run to the restroom. As Patrick Swayze put it, "Nobody puts baby in a corner!" Doubly true for our little tenant. Our baby has pretty much taken over my entire torso by now. Over the past few months, she's squished and mushed all of my organs out of the way. Any day now, she'll make a final move and shove your heart up and to the left to make more room for herself.
