34 weeks, a big belly, a dirty mirror, and the sweetest little bathing suit ever!

The cute stage is OVER!!! I think that I scheduled our maternity photos too late! Oh, well! For the record, though, here is Baby at 34 weeks:



Stacey sent her gift for Baby in the mail this week, and along with the practical sippy cups and spoons and play yard sheet, were the sweetest little bathing suit and the cutest little onsies! Thanks, Stacey!



In other news, we got a spot at the Children's Program at UA's Child Research Development Center for Baby starting August 1. (The website does not do it justice.) This was a highly coveted position, and we are thrilled to get it as we were not satisfied with any of the other daycares we looked at. Thursday morning, Nicholas and I spent two hours with the program's director--asking questions, getting information, and touring the facilities, which are fantastic. They will accept a 6 hour day as full time (they only do full time), so I could, if my boss agrees, do a 75% workload and be with Baby more than my current schedule allows. They have nursing rooms, so I could ride my bike over and nurse during the day. Most of the research projects don't start until Baby is around 18 months, and all research projects are opt-in, so that won't come until later.

And, in pregnancy news, I am in the last six weeks now! I am having a very difficult time making it through a day without a nap, and sleeping is becoming increasingly difficult. Baby seems happy, though! She is moving and wiggling much of every day. Our next appointment is Monday, and because of scheduling conflicts, it will have been almost four weeks since our last one. I'm hoping he says I am measuring huge and baby will probably come at about 37 weeks! Not really, Baby and I are still set on May 1st for her birthday, which is 39 weeks.
