Oh my girth!

We might still have a Baby Sagittarius

So, for those of you who have been following the latest in Kira's Blood Pressure Daily, things are looking much better right now. We are off of the induction plan (woo hoo!) which means that Bebe RT will come when she's ready. My blood pressure has stabilized and Bebe RT is passing all of her weekly tests with flying colors. Today we had another ultrasound and she weighs approximately 6 lbs. 6 0z and everything looks good for a due date still around November 25. The ultrasound photos are pretty hard to decifer since she is so scrunched in right now, so we'll just have to wait and see what she looks like.

Thank you to everyone for checking in and keeping me company while I spent all of that time on the couch watching "You're having a baby" TV (aka, The Learning Channel). It obviously helped to keep the blood pressure in check.

More updates soon!

Nursery's Fini!

We're ready for you, Bebe RT!
I have to say this is one of my favorite rooms in the house right now. It is so fun to peruse her gigantic wardrobe and think about what she'll look like in all of those cute clothes.
Not too much longer . . .

A Shower for Bebe R.T.

Last weekend a lovely shower was thrown for Bebe R.T. complete with a reunion of gals from college with youngsters in tow. Above is Betsy's daughter Eliza Jayne in her adorable European dress.

Anna and Anson came to stay at our new house. (He was the best of houseguests.)

And we just keep growing . . . Jenna and bebe, Anna and Anson all added to the mix

And now there are more! My sister-in-law Inge (who just had baby number two, Torsten, in June). I also just have to comment on how cute it is that Eliza and Lewis are checking each other out in this shot.

It was truly a lovely time and so great to see everyone after so much time with their adorable little ones. We just couldn't get enough of each other. I think there was even a moment when we were "fighting" over where various people were staying for the evening.

The belly is definitely growing . . .more shots to follow soon!
