35 Weeks

Whew! We've had a busy few weeks. Since my last post, we went to Colorado for Lauren's wedding, we celebrated Steve's birthday and our fifth anniversary, Steve installed a state-of-the-art irrigation system in our front and back yard (He's super excited and would love to tell you about it!), and I had a lovely time at two baby showers.

I have also been working hard to get things ready at home and at work before Otis's arrival. He'll be here before we know it. My due date is exactly a month from today!

Week 35
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

You are the cutest pumpkin I've ever seen.

He's almost here! :) You look great, as always!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Women are the most vibrant and beautiful when they are pregnant. Erica, you look outstanding. The sparkle in your eyes and the big smile tell it all.
And of course, the men get a little more buff too because they instinctively want to protect their wife and child. You both look pretty darn good in the picture.
I love you all. Dad

A month until Otis is born... unbelieveable! I'm so excited for you and Steve. (and I'm very excited to be an uncle!)
