We made progress! We were 2 centimeters dilated, and the doctor has proclaimed that we are “ready.” We had the infamous “vigorous exam,” and the doctor said we could go tonight. We’ll see!

Happy Due Date!
No baby yet. Just lots of people checking in to see if we’re parents yet. Hopefully she makes her appearance soon because everyone is getting really impatient.

Still here! No baby yet… We had an appointment on Tuesday last week because of the holiday. There was no change in my dilation or effacement, but my cervix had softened since the last check. There’s progress. It’s just a little slower than I would like. We’ll just keep waiting, I guess.
Also, another two pounds [...]

Our 37 week check up went well yesterday. Things are progressing, but not very quickly. So we’re probably not having a baby this week, though you never know!
Meanwhile, I need to get my hospital bag packed and try my best to stop eating all this candy we have at work. I gained two more pounds [...]
Just practicing…

Well, at 36 weeks, the little miss could certainly be born if she wanted to, but yesterday was not the day.
We had our very first false alarm, of sorts, when I called the doctor’s office with a question. They told me to come in for a test, just to be sure. “If there’s a question, we [...]

At 35 weeks, the average baby is about 5 ½ pounds and 18 inches long. Her lungs and kidneys are fully developed, and basically she’s just putting on weight now at a rate of ½ pound a week or so.
At 35 weeks, this average mama-to-be is tired and achy but getting excited. Only 5 weeks [...]

From eMedTV Health Channel:
Fetal development that is occurring around week 34 of pregnancy includes the following:
- The skeleton hardens, although the head remains pliable to maneuver through the birth canal
- The skin becomes less red and less wrinkled
- The toenails are present, and the fingernails have reached the tips of the fingers
- Your baby is [...]

We had our 33 week appointment yesterday, and all is well with baby. She spent most of this past week kicking me in the ribs, which was definitely not comfortable, but at least we know she’s in the right position.
Week 32 was definitely the least comfortable of my pregnancy thus far. I spent most of [...]
32 Weeks

At 32 weeks, the baby’s movements peak, but she is beginning to run out of room in there. We’ll both keep growing/putting on weight for a while yet.
All of the baby’s senses are functional at this point, so hopefully she has been listening to all the great stories and poems we have been reading to [...]
31 Weeks

At 31 weeks, the little miss is likely closing in on 4 pounds. She still moves a lot, which is good. That way I can keep a close eye on her.
I had my 30 week appointment earlier this week, and I actually measured slightly small for 30 weeks. But I really feel quite [...]

- Serve the Community or Serve the Individual October 27, 2009I know that as a library, we are here to serve the community. But on a day-to-day basis, I don’t work with the community, I work with individual people. Are the two mutually-exclusive?

- How They Do It In... Russia - Most families do just fine without a home of their own. October 20, 2009About a year ago, my husband and I were faced with a dilemma. We had a dog. We had a kid. We had a lot of material possessions no luxury cars or Steinway pianos — just stuff, the kind that is sometimes hard to remember where or why we acquired, the kind that takes up space. In addition to these things, we also had an apartment, not a particularly small apart […]Kim Brooks
