35 Weeks

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I gained 3 lbs in the last two weeks. They estimate (which can be off 1 lb or so in either direction) that Sophie is 5.5 pounds with about 4 weeks to go. She is head down, so not breech- which hopefully shouldn't change. There are no signs of her coming early (bummer!) so it looks like I might continue to be uncomfortable for a while yet.
My back has been hurting a bit at work as I keep getting bigger, and I'm not sleeping very well, but for the most part, I'm feeling fine. I'm just tired of being pregnant- its impossible to tie my shoes, and I waddle and move really slowly. Pictures of our Virginia shower to follow soon!

Baby Shower Cincinnati Style

We are so sorry we haven't posted in so long! I know some people were worried- but everything with is fine with all of us, baby included. I am feeling VERY pregnant these days and definately looking forward to moving past this stage and actually meeting Miss Sophie face to face. We were in Cincinnati this past weekend just in time for a huge blizzard in Ohio. On Friday, the drive- normally 7 hours- took about 13. I was scheduled to take a nationwide ethics exam on Saturday, but it was cancelled. We have great timing don't we? But the snow didn't stop us from enjoying the incredible baby shower for me given by Jennifer Green and Annabel Stolley. Jen's house looked amazing, and the food was fabulous. It really was such an honor and I so appreciate the shower- and all the amazing gifts from everyone. We can't wait to put all the wonderful things- and clothes- to good use when Sophie arrives. Hope you all enjoy these pictures!
