New Photos and more

Today marked the start of week 34! Only 6 more weeks to go. I am sure the baby will be here before we know it. Life will never be the same - it will be much better. Here is a picture of baby Patterson. S/he definitely has my lips and nose. The blurry stuff around the eyes and head is placenta. The ultrasound tech said the baby also has a lot of hair, which it gets from Lynn no doubt. It weighs about 5 lbs, 5oz. and is projected to weigh 8 lbs at birth. The ultrasound tech also said it has really chubby checks.





Here you can see its nose (not as squished as the first photo) and it is flashing the peace out sign. So, I guess it is saying

everything is ok inside of mom. The last photo is its foot. 5 toes all accounted for. If you think these pictures are beautiful, imagine how they would look on this.

Last night we discovered that the road to parenthood is going to be a little bumpy. How many Ph.D's does it take to put together a pack and play, pack and pray as I call it? Our friends Ralph and Nancy gave one as a baby shower gift and we decided assemble it last night. We got everything together except the diaper changing piece. After 2 frustrating hours, we gave up and decided to go to BRUs in the morning to see how they assembled it.

After the ultrasound, we headed to BRU to see their PNP models and the diaper changing piece was securely fastened. When we got home, we realized that Lynn had been trying to use the head cover part as the diaper changing part. When we realized her mistake, it was easy to finish the assembly. Perhaps I should tell her diapers are for the baby's bottom and not to be used as a head warmer!



Until next time, keep your head warm!
