Maeve Marian Sullivans birthday October 25th, 2011

Week 40 and 2 days, day before Csection

Went to the doctor today for our post due date check, and they did a cervical check. Apparently Maeve is not even CLOSE to delivering with her positioning, my cervix is completely closed, and she was measuring big again…all prompting the doctor to do an US to check how big she is. They got really good, accurate measurements since shes floating, not in my pelvis yet, and they are estimating her at 10lbs, 9oz. After a LONG conversation with the doctor weighing all our options, it has been decided we are going to a scheduled Csection tomorrow. Maeve may be a big newborn, but she will come into this world healthy and happy! The doctor also confirmed that her size has nothing to do with how many Fredericks cupcakes I ate throughout pregnancy.

Week 40, stretch marks and all

Week 38 and apple orchard

Linda, Lauren, Kerry and I took a little trip up 89 to go to Gould Hill apple orchard, which has become a bit of a family tradition for Kerry and I over the years. The orchard has great views, tons of apples, icecream, and pumpkins (usually…not this year :( ) We got some great photos courtesy of Linda and Lauren to document week 38, though I see why now people schedule baby bump photos for around week 35; this belly is pretty out of control!

Enjoy!
