average size: 18.9 to 20.9 inches, 6.2 to 9.2 lbs.
what's going on with baby: "She's probably able to flex her limbs now. Her brain is still rapidly developing -- she's getting smarter by the week! Her nails may extend past her fingertips."


39 weeks!!! gahhhhhhhhh!!! so impatient. here's the bump photo:

at this past week's midwife appointment, i had made no progress. still 1cm and 40%, so we'll see what happens tomorrow when i get checked again!

we set up a few more baby items to pass the time :) first up was the rainforest bouncer! and of course kahlua had to investigate...

but after he circled around all the parts and inspected it all, he decided to just go inside the box it came in hahaha...i guess that's the coolest part to a cat.

this thing takes four D batteries! sheesh!

but it looks so preeeeeetty once it's put together :) the waterfall part moves, and it mesmerized us, so hopefully it will mesmerize remi too haha

and then we also put together her fun animal playmat :)

so cute! can't wait to put her on it :)

i also made "jump start your labor cookies" on thursday night hahaha...here is the recipe:

but as you can tell from me writing this post NOT from my hospital room, they clearly did not work lol...she maybe kicked around a little more, but that was it. i think she was just happy to get cookies, and she realizes that once she is out, she will no longer GET cookies for a while, so she stays in. little stinker...these cookies were actually quite yummy though, and i was glad to see that the first ingredient wasn't "castor oil" lol...they just taste like gingersnaps with a little extra "kick" because of the cayenne pepper. erik LOVED them haha...so maybe i will save the recipe for later on sometime. they would be a great fall cookie. 

my friend noah also drew this little comic of me, and i think it describes my life quite perfectly at the moment!

it's so cute and hilarious :) i absolutely love it!

oh! and we also put a shower curtain down on the bed under the fitted sheet just in case my water decides to break in the middle of the night hahaha...i do NOT want to ruin our incredibly comfy mattress!!!

c'mooooooon remi! we're ready for youuuuu!!!!
