39 Weeks....

We may have skipped a week... but we have made progress. He's a stereotypical watermelon in size this week! Hopefully soon to come... I don't know how much bigger mom can take! Last week the doctor report was good. Baby Whitaker is about 7 pounds, still head down but not any further dilated. The nursery is ready and we all await his coming with expectation!!! Can't wait!

37 Weeks....

Happy Mother's Day! And we've moved on to a.... Stalk of Swiss Chard??

Don't know where they come up with these things. This week the fact site says that baby Whitaker is "as lofty as a stalk of Swiss chard and weighs 6 1/3 pounds. Length: a bit over 19 inches, head to heel."

It's hard to believe that it's only a matter of days until his arrival! Today was special. Mom got to stand up at church as a "mom" and receive a rose. Dad and baby Whitaker gave mom a Starbucks card (Dad has had to limit the Starbucks she has been drinking due to low cash flow and caffeine.... even apparent in the decaf @Starbucks!) So, that was a treat. We celebrated with Grandmother and Grandfather Bohnhoff, auntie's Grace and Kage, and uncle Nate.

The weekly doctor visit was great: baby Whitaker is perfect size and mom is not dilated any more than last week! (whew, still have a little more time!)

Until next week, we're kickin' it Swiss style! :-)

36 Weeks...

He's a....
Crenshaw Melon???

Baby Whitaker is growin' melon style these days! The doctor said Friday that he is in perfect position and mom is already a CM dilated! Mom is finally done with finals! (and baby Whitaker showed obedience for the first time by not coming before she finished.) Hooray! Mom and Dad spent all day yesterday cleaning and organizing. Mom is definitely "nesting" and excited she can finally get ready for his arrival! The sleepless nights have already arrived.. thank goodness for a patient daddy! Thank you for keeping posted! We look forward to the day arriving!
Until next week,
Baby "Crenshaw"
