Seven months today and I’m officially in the third trimester! People in my class are starting to comment on how big I’m getting. I did have a fellow prego classmate but she recently had her baby so now I’m the only one left to be picked on. As I have promised, here’s this month’s belly picture:
I’ve outgrown the rest of my regular shirts and am now outgrowing my fat t-shirts. Soon, I’m going to have to purchase some moo-moos in order to feel comfortable at all.
Caleb is now 2 - 2 1/4 pounds and looks like a Chinese cabbage. Yep. Didn’t know what that was either. Here’s an example:
Nothing much in the way of development besides building up brain neurons and baby fat. He’s got eyelashes now and is regularly opening and closing his eyes.
Hopefully we’ll be able to see some of that on Saturday when we have our 3D ultrasound. I can’t wait! Don’t worry, we’ll post lots of pictures. I’ve been drinking like crazy in order for the pictures to come out clear. So stop by the blog sometime Saturday afternoon; we should hopefully have them up by then.
We have a doctor’s appointment next Tuesday. They’re going to start happening every two weeks now that it’s getting close. I feel like we should be signing up for those childbirth classes but I’m just not feeling it. From what I’ve heard, they’re pretty boring and tell you basically what all the books do. I don’t know, I might regret it come D-day but I’m not seeing Andy and me in one of those classes unless they can entice me with chocolate cake.

Hehe, I’d like ot know who’s calling you big, I’ll beat em up!
You’re not big, and you make a very pretty pregnant lady!!! Oh, and don’t worry about not taking the classes. I did the SAME thing you’re doiong. I worrried about it but really didn’t want to take it, and then on the drive at 4am to be induced, I was like, maybe I should’ve taken them!?! I got so nervous, but my doctor was shocked that I told her (when Krynn was jsut about here!) that I didn’t take them, and she said I was working like a pro and she’d never believe it! 
Yep, it’s just how the books say, and, they’re right there looking at the monitor and telling you when it’s almost time to push again, and you’ll know as well, on top of them telling oyu exactly how to do it while you’re doing it! hehe Don’t worry, I’m glad I never put us through those long, boring classes! ;o)

And I can’t wait for the ultrasound either- it should be awesome to experience!

Have fun at your 4-D, and be prepared to cry!!! It was SO awesome, and we got so lucky…the printer was messed up so we had to wait like an hour at least, and by the time they got our stuff to print up, they just gave it to us! Can’t wait to see the pics from it. :o)

Wow! I’m so excited to see Caleb! He’s gonna be a handsome boy! Bri,you told me that all your kids were gonna be skinny, blonde and have glasses…well this is my first chance to see that skinny blonde baby! Cant’ wait!
BTW. chinese cabbage (or Nappa cabbage) is very good in stiry fry. I know I have been behind in my recipe duties….travelling , new clients , and Karl’s Dad’s health has created a lack of time.
Love all you guys
