Happy Valentine's Day!

This week we are at 36 weeks.  Baby Sonny is about 18-20 inches long and weighs 5.5-6 pounds.  He is about the size of a crenshaw melon (in case you're not familiar  http://www.produceoasis.com/Items_folder/Fruits/Crenshaw.html ).  Baby Sonny is still packing on the weight, roughly an ounce a day.  I continue to have Braxton-Hicks (warm-up) contractions, nothing painful, nothing regular. But I am getting them much more frequently than last week.

Saturday I had another fantastic shower hosted by Nicole and Ying.  Many of my work colleagues were able to come and we had a great time eating appetizers, lasagna, cake, and cannolis (yum)!  We played "guess the measurement of my belly" game and Sarah got it spot on!  Last time everyone guessed over!  Either I'm getting way bigger or Sarah is just a good estimator.  Sadly, we didn't take any photos during the shower.

No photos this week :(  I had a terrible GI bug yesterday and had to leave work.  I spent the day in bed and Jeff took good care of me.  Today I stayed home as well and tried to rehydrate and rest as much as possible.  Jeff and I spent Valentine's Day making returns and putting stuff away in Baby Sonny's room.  We put the last of his clothes away and played with some of the baby gear.  We tried out the Ergo (baby carrier) and infant insert.  Jeff put a stuffed giraffe in the infant insert and then showed me how to place the insert inside the Ergo and then onto himself.  It was a great evening spending time together and getting ready for Baby Sonny.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.  Thank you for all of your love and support thus far.  Baby Sonny says that he can't wait to meet you all in another few weeks!
