36 Weeks 2.0

You are now the size of a honeydew. But after 36 weeks, we still don't have a name picked out for you. We've got several great ideas but nothing is definite. We know you already have a name, we just haven't figured it out yet. We know it is perfect for you just as you are perfect for us; just as the love you bring into this world will be perfect. We have a few weeks left to figure this out, but then a lifetime to share with you the love we've been storing up for over 8 months.

35 Weeks 2.0

You have been growing in Mommy's belly and in our hearts for 35 weeks now. You are the size of a large cantaloupe and at Mommy's appointment this week, the doctor said you are the right size or maybe a little smaller than expected. That was not what we expected to hear given the doctors have been saying you are ahead of schedule. To get ready, Mommy and Mimi shopped at a consignment sale. They bought more things for Aubrey than you because they bought mostly clothes and we still don't know if you'll need pink or blue clothes. We won't know for 5 more weeks, give or take a week or so depending on how accurate the doctor's measurements are.

34 Weeks 2.0

It's hard to believe we are in week 34, the weeks are flying by. You are the size of a large coconut this week and we've been going nuts in getting ready for your arrival. We have been so busy that we were a little late taking this week's picture. On Friday, we took you to your first NFL game, a preseason game between the Panthers and Bears. The same rule applies with you as your sister, you don't have to grow up to be a Cubs or Bears fan, but you have to spend some time with Daddy watching and going to their games. Over the weekend, Mommy spent time with her family while Daddy worked at the house. She took you to a family reunion, a birthday party and a wedding shower. Mommy has a big family and everyone is very excited about our family growing soon.

33 Weeks 2.0

We continue to count down the weeks to your birth and this week, week 33, we celebrated Mommy's birthday. We went to dinner and the park and later in the week, we went to Mimi's house. At our house, your sister is officially sleeping in her own room now and we've started moving her things out of your room. This week, you are the size of a pineapple...or maybe larger. At Mommy's appointment this week, the doctor says she is measuring a week ahead of schedule and that once we get to week 36, we should be ready for you to join us at any time. We've prayed about that day for more than 33 weeks now, we are very excited and ready to meet you.
