39 Weeks, and Still in Waiting

Well, after all this talk about how I thought little Eli would come early because Leila was two weeks early, I'm now only a week away from my due date and getting impatient. He must be too cozy in there! Either that, or he has been siding with Mark who keeps urging him to come later, after the 40 pages are written and submitted. Meanwhile, I'm still pretty comfortable considering I'm so far along and now 24 pounds heavier. My doctor keeps saying that I'm all baby, just one big bump. Poor Leila has no more room to snuggle up on my lap!



Eli back in December, at 4 months.
I love this picture, one of my favorites.
That's his little fist there above his tummy.





And here are some shots of Eli just a couple of weeks ago. At the time, Amanda our ultrasound tech said that he was just about seven pounds. He'll certainly be bigger when he's born than Leila was when she arrived.

I guess all this waiting has given me a good chance to do some serious spring cleaning. Time to clear out all the junk and start fresh. Seriously, how do we accumulate all this stuff? More trips to Goodwill and some postings on Craigslist are in order. Good thing for that nesting instinct.
