I'm not too sure why I am still surprised by the CK administration. But, I am. I received an e-mail today that prompted me to look at my renewal options and when I did, I discovered that I could renew for just $19 per year. So, I did, before someone figured out that they made a mistake. Therefore, no one will be cut off from baby news. Yay!

Speaking of baby news, there isn't much new to report. Still hanging in there, on bed rest, waiting for trouble to decide when she is ready to meet the rest of her family. I had my (likely) last ultrasound yesterday and it was very entertaining. She's been a very active baby the whole pregnancy and it was funny to watch the technician trying to measure her. She's doing very well in there and it seems as though she is going to have the ginormous head her brother was/is sporting. Her head is measuring a full 4 weeks ahead of the rest of her. The boy's head always measured somewhere in the 130th percentile (est.) on those growth charts they use. I am now going to mentally prepare myself for round two and for several stitches afterwards. The baby jumped up to the 75th percentile this time and she was at 48 last time. Looks like my weight loss issues aren't affecting her growth in the slightest, thankfully! The ultrasound had her current weight estimated at just under 7 pounds and the tech. thinks she'll be about an 8 pound baby when I have her. We'll see. I'm thinking she'll be a little closer to 9.

I'm very curious to see what my body will look like after this one and what size I will be wearing, given the weight loss. I'm thinking that I will be about 30-ish pounds lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight a week or so after I give birth. And, I plan on breast feeding the first year which should help me lose more weight. Should be interesting.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
