35 Weeks

5.25 pounds and 18 inches long

I am doing pretty good for being 35 weeks along. Mother Nature has decided to take pity on me this week and it shouldn't be hotter than the low 90's this week. I am starting to have pain in my sciatic nerve (my butt) so it is sometimes hard for me to walk faster than a stroll. I feel sorry for Tyler because he will get ahead of me sometimes then remember that he needs to slow down. We started our childbirth prep classes on Monday and we pretty much watched a video on the stages of labor, learned a good way to breathe through contractions, and the nurse had us do an exercises that helped us figure out what kind of touch was relaxing for our partners to do during a contraction. Tyler was taken by surprise during the video because they actually showed a woman giving birth, he was ok with it, just caught off guard. Tyler and I plan on doing a belly cast in the near future so I will let you know how that turns out.

Eleny is now bigger than Austen (if she is 5.25 pounds and 18 inches long)was at birth. It seems like I looked at that little baby face at the top of your chart just two weeks ago and it was WAAAAY over on the left. Look where it is now!!

New thought. I think you need to be sure and take a picture of brand new Eleney with a quarter beside her. It just seems like the right thing to do!
