UPDATE 10-22-09: Had our 32 week appointment and follow-up on the sonogram from Tuesday. Brianna is in the 43 percentile on growth so she is right on target! Her heartrate was in the low 150s so she is looking nice and healthy! WOO HOO.
Thanks for the prayers! - ML and E
This is a Jicima (FYI)
Eric and I had a VERY busy weekend. We woke up at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday for him to go run the 5k Susan G. Komen breast cancer run in Dallas. He did pretty well considering he never runs anymore! We then came home, showered, and then went to the UNT Homecoming parade and then tailgated for a few hours while visiting with old friends. Sunday we got up early and redid the entire front yard (mowed, edged, weedeated, and redid ALL of the flower beds). We pulled out a lot of plants that we were not pleased with and put in all new flowers (purple Kale cabbage and Pansies). Once they grow in a little bit, we will take pictures and post them!

This is for my mom and grandmother - Eric and I decided he would run for Audrey Freele, a good friend of my family's who battled breast cancer several times in her life. We know that Audrey did not lose a battle to breast cancer, but since she is no longer living and did beat breast cancer, we figured it would be better to put "In Memory Of" instead of "In Congratulations to." We love you and miss you Audrey (and of course Bob too!)!

Brianna's Face (look at those chubby cheeks and big lips! Her nose is smooshed against my stomach right now in the picture.) - 32 Weeks - 10/20/2009 Up until now, you've been seeing your doctor about once a month. Now you'll start seeing her every two weeks, until the final month when you'll kick it up to once a week. There is a 50% chance of surviving if the baby is born during this time. There is something surreal about watching a tiny foot move across your belly (and something uncomfortable about getting jabbed by a tiny elbow in the dead of night). Now that your baby is nice and big and mobile (as of 10-20-09, Brianna is 3 pounds, 13 ounces), you'll be getting kicked and prodded in all sorts of unexpected places. Oooof! Did you feel that one in the ribs? (YES, I did! And I have a lovely bruise on my right upper rib to prove it!)
Although your baby will still remain active, her days of trying out for Cirque du Soleil are nearly over. About this time your baby will settle into the head-down position in preparation for birth. (She is already head down and face back like she should be!) Other fascinating facts:Both you and baby are putting on some serious weight at this point. You'll probably gain about a pound a week for the next few weeks, with half of that poundage bulking up baby. She'll likely double her weight in the next eight weeks. Ever wonder what your baby is doing in there these days? She's busy blinking, looking around, grabbing things, making faces, practicing his breathing, peeing and listening to everything around her—pretty much exactly what she'll be doing for the first three months of her life, sans the adoring audience and the flashing camera. By the end of this week, your baby will weigh about 4 pounds and measure over 17 inches long—about the length of a hot pair of above-the-knee boots. Christian Louboutin? Manolo Blahnik? We're thinking Isaac Mizrahi for Target—you've got a nursery to furnish!
