Hi everyone and sorry for the delay in postings.
Tahra and I have both had a busy summer, with fixing up the new house and nursery taking up all our spare time at home, and I still have 2 weeks left of summer school. Anyway, we are fast approaching the due date (it was a month from yesterday) and everything is right on schedule. We are taking a birthing class at Seton NW on Tuesday nights, and we had a breast-feeding class the Monday before last.
I would also like to thank everyone who purchased a gift for us at one of the showers, or the “showers by mail”. Your generosity is staggering, and while it seems like we have way too much stuff for this kid, I am sure that there will be a need for all of it (and more) at some point very soon.
Our most recent doctor’s visit was on Tuesday morning and while Tahra did feel a little nausea (probably due to the drive in), she measured right on target and weighed in at 134.5 lbs. She has been gaining about a half pound per week, so while she is on the low end of normal, everything should be fine. The baby has continued to be active in utero, but since he has grown, his kicks are much stronger and when he changes positions I can even see the difference in the shape of her tummy.
