Size of Baby: At our ultrasound on 6/20/11 the baby weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: The last time I was weighted was on 6/20/11 and I had gained 21 pounds.
Gender: Daddy guess Boy and Mama guess Girl.
Movement: It’s almost constant. When I go in for my weekly NST’s the nurses are constantly amused at how much the baby moves!
Sleep: Decent – It’s getting harder and harder to get (or stay) comfortable. I know it’s only going to get worse!
What I Miss: This may sounds really terrible, but with summer in full swing I’m really missing an ice cold beer or a slushy fruit drink.

What I Miss: This may sounds really terrible, but with summer in full swing I’m really missing an ice cold beer or a slushy fruit drink.
Symptoms: I'm having contractions all the time. We met with our new OB in St. Cloud (Dr. Matuzka – we love her) and she determined that I was 50% effaced and 1cm dilated. Some real progress!!
Best Moment This Week: Meeting our new Dr. and getting to know the person that will be delivering our baby! She is wonderful and we are so lucky to have been recommended such a great lady!
What I'm Looking Forward To: I have Friday (7/1/11) afternoon off and so does Derek. We are ready to spend the weekend with family at the lake!!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: The last time I was weighted was on 7/5/11 and I had gained 21.6 pounds.
Gender: Daddy guess Boy and Mama guess Girl.
Movement: The baby moves all the time. Since I have so much fluid it is still easy for baby to do flips in there, some of them are getting kind of painful as there just isn’t room for everything it seems!
Sleep: I definitely only sleep good in my own bed. We even came home at night from the lake just so that I could sleep in my own bed and get some decent rest – all D’s idea and a great one at that!

What I Miss: Having a full wardrobe of clothes to choose from. My selection is getting pretty limited. I’ll be glad to at least have more than a few shirts to choose from!
Symptoms: I'm having contractions all the time. I’m hoping I’m progressing more and more each day!
Best Moment This Week: We had a wonderful time at the lake with my family over the long weekend. It was definitely exhausting but so worth it!
What I'm Looking Forward To: It’s a short week of work! We have no plans for the weekend! Should be nice to get some things done around the house and to just relax!

Sleep: I get up every 2 hours like clockwork to use the bathroom and usually once a night because I have such terrible heartburn. Thanks goodness for Tums!!

What I Miss: Being able to handle the heat. We went to our hometown parade on Sunday, it lasted 1 hours, by the time it was done and we were ready to leave I was so ready to get home to the air conditioning! My mom has even complained about how cold it is in our house – what can I say – I get hot!
Symptoms: I don’t want to complain, but I’m miserable. Sitting for long periods of time is tough, standing isn’t easy, sleeping is getting less and less and the heat just doesn’t do much for me! I keep telling myself that it has to end some time!
Best Moment This Week: We had our last appointment in St. Cloud this week. The baby looked great again! No SVT or PAC’s. We also scheduled a date for being induced since we live so far away from the hospital!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Mark your calendars – July 15th will be the day the baby is born! It’s bound to be the best birthday party that hospital has ever seen!
