35 weeks

March 19, 2007: We had an awesome week in ID. Here is a picture of me at the end of the week on a short hike that James and I did above the Galena Pass. We had been snow shoeing that day at Galena Lodge and then went up for a better view. The weather was amazing all week and we were sad to leave the 65 degree sunny days for the cold NH weather. We had a great time seeing Jon and were lucky enough to get home despite the storms in New England. I saw the doctor today and because I was still measuring small we had an ultra sound to check on the baby's size and health. (Even though I gained 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks!) Much to our relief the baby is doing great and she is a very average size. She weighs 5 pounds 7 ounces right now and is in the 59th percentile. They said because I have a long torso that it seems like I am small even though I am not. So that was great news to hear as we head into the last stretch. I start seeing the doctor every week now and we also had our first birthing class today. Also, we think we finally picked a name for our baby, but you will have to wait until she arrives to hear what it is.

34 Weeks

March 12, 2007:

We are out in Sun Valley, ID visiting Jon for our spring break. It is really gorgeous here and the weather is unbelievable. It is 65 degrees and sunny. James is enjoying snow boarding and skiing with Jon, despite his broken wrist. I have been snow shoeing and just relaxing. Here we are at the top of the mountain with Jon one day and here is my 34 week belly on the balcony of our condo which over looks the ski mountain.

33 Weeks

March 4, 2007:

At this weeks check up the doctors made me nervous by telling me I am "measuring small". When you are 33 weeks along and they measure the size of your stomach it should match the weeks and thus be 33 cms. I am 31 cms. She said if the difference gets to be more than 2 cms we would get checked out with an ultrasound. For now though, she has said it is nothing to worry about and gave me the green light to head to Sun Valley at the end of this week. I just have to bring a copy of my medical file with me in case anything happens out there. I am still feeling good though and still running 2-3 miles 4 times a week.
