A Jolly Monday

A few shots of a jolly Masha on Monday having fun with her hands.

Little MM ate for 3.5 hours straight today and napped very little (growth spurt?). Perhaps she will sleep a bit tonight.

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!
