So apparently I have a lot of catching up to do, Little man (or Reid as we've been calling you!). Following are some of the events that have taken place over the past few months:Gwen is EXTREMELY excited to meet you. She announces daily: "We're having a baby, mama!". She has been practicing changing her doll's diapers and asks questions about carrying you and holding you often. She has also taken to reading books about becoming a big sister.
Cole also enjoys kissing my belly and saying "hi baby" to you. One of his favorite songs is Pat A Cake. He usually sings "C for Cole", "G for Gwen", "D for Daddy", "M for Mommy". The other day he asked for a letter for "Baby Reid" and has been saying "R for baby Reid" ever since!
On 6/9/11, I went for the dreaded 1 hour glucose tolerance test. I felt fine the entire time but completely failed it. Luckily i failed it enough that i didn't have to take the 3 hour test that i took when i was pregnant with your brother and sister. I went to visit with the nutritionist and have been on a strict diet ever since. I haven't been gaining weight but the doctors are happy that you're gaining and aren't a huge baby.
For Fathers Day we made Daddy a picture frame with Gwen holding the letter "D", you holding an "A" and Cole holding a "D". He took it to work and gets to see your adorable u/s pic every day!
On 6/25/11, we visited with the Pajerowskis and the Khans. Eileen is pregnant with twin boys and Deb is pregnant with a little man as well. We took some funny belly pics (see pics) and talked about how the four of you men will be the best of friends!
On 7/12/11, we took a few pics (see above) of you and mommy in your new nursery. This was a special day because it was the day i officially was the most pregnnat that i had ever been since i had your brother and sister at 32 weeks, 6 days. We have been working hard to get it ready for your arrival. I couldn't find any bedding/curtains that I liked so i had some custom made on Etsy. We bought your crib and dresser from Ikea and are now working on some wall decor.
On 7/14/11 we went for an u/s at the OB's office. I was 33 weeks and you weighed in at 3 lbs, 13 oz. The doctor was very pleased with your growth and we got to see that you were head down. You even had one of your legs straight out to mommy's side. You definitely are an active little man. You like to stay right in the center of my belly and I see you rippling around all.day.long!
On 7/15/11, I noticed that you had the hiccups for the first time. Since then you have had them a few times.
On 7/20/11, we had a maternity pic session with Christine Stewart. Our usual photographer had to cancel, so Christine stepped in to do the shoot.
