Week 36

Now we're getting very close to the big day.  I'm no longer hoping for a June 27th baby.  My last day of work is May 29th, so anytime after that would be good!  The baby is continuing to make lots of movements.  He/She doesn't flip around anymore because there isn't enough room for that... but the baby still kicks a lot.  According to our books, the baby now weighs about 6 lbs and is around 20 inches long. 

Now all we need is baby

The baby room is all ready to go.  It's amazing what you can do with craigslist, "as is" sections and Mom in town for a week.  

Spencer has been feeling left out of the blog, so he decided to sneak into one of the pictures.

Less than two months to go!

Week 30

These days the baby weighs over 3 pounds and is around 17 inches in length. It only has about 3 more inches to grow in length but will more than double in weight over the next 10 weeks. Ali is feeling well and we're feeling the baby move frequently. Today the doctor confirmed that the baby's feet are right under Ali's right ribs. Although, the baby has been telling us this every day. 

Somebody has the wrong idea!

We got a really good deal on a second-hand crib.  It is all set up and came with

the bedding.  Felix was nowhere to be found the morning after we set it up.  We

then found him sleeping in the crib... I think he thinks it's his new bed!

Week 25

My tummy is getting pretty big!  Things are going well in the 25th week.  I'm feeling more and more movements from the baby and I can even see him/her moving around in there.  Our next appointment at the maternity clinic is over spring break.  I am almost finished the second trimester.

Start of week 22

We are just over the half way mark and the baby is now making all kinds of movements. He or she now weighs a whopping 1 pound and measures nearly eight inches long. If you have any good names, feel free to leave them as a comment on this page.

Baby Lafleur's first pictures

We went for our ultrasound today and came home with some really good pictures.  It was amazing how much detail we could see on the monitor.  He/She seems to have big feet!  We saw the heart beating and the spine.  Everything looks healthy to us.  A report is now sent to the maternity clinic and we will get their professional opinion at our next appointment.  Above is a picture of our baby's feet.
