35 weeks aka Wahoooo!!!


I can't believe we've made it this far.


Victory!


This was our first main goal and here we are!


I will see Doc on Tuesday and we will get our next update.


In the meantime, look at these adorable little hair-flowers for our baby girl.




I ordered them on Etsy.com, and I adore these handmade beauties. They look big, but they are actually super teeny. It's the alternative to the "glued" on bows for newborns. Now we'll just have "glued" on flowers.


Paige is kind of appalled.


She thinks it's cruel to put Karo Syrup on a baby's head to stick on a bow.


"But wait 'til you see how cute it is!", I say.


"Well, I hope you never did that to me."


{cue my whistling, twiddling thumbs, and avoiding eye-contact}


Another highlight this week was that Paige brought up the "Baby Girl 0-12 months" bin from the garage and we got to look through all her baby clothes that she wore. It was really funny. I oohed and aahed over the clothes, associating the sweet memories of her wearing these clothes. Paige, however, mostly made funny faces and giggled. And made comments like, "That is so old-fashioned! I can't believe I wore that!" True, when you compare the uber-fashionable baby clothes nowadays that you see everywhere, they are a little outdated. But, there were a few treasures that she was very giddy to dress her sister in. We're both pretty much going to have to draw straws each time we dress her to see whose turn it is!

and yes cute flowers. as we all know i'm a tiny bow girl myself but those may make me want to branch out. and forget the sticky yucky karo syrup... KY Jelly works the best!

You look amazing!!! I love you pregnant. 35 weeks is such an accomplishment and I cannot believe all of your bedrest that you have gone through with all of your babies. I can only imagine as you said "going bonkers". Yes, the rest and reading and movies would be great for a day or two but I am sure after that you would be ready for something new. Keep up the good work though you are there!

Also, just read the post about the twins...that is crazy. SO many emotions I am sure. I remember reading up on the vanishing twin syndrome. I am so sorry for your loss but I am so happy that you get to meet your baby girl so soon. Best of luck in the coming weeks!!!
