34 Weeks
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
We had good news from our doctor today on how baby seems to be doing. He’s very active and has a strong heartbeat. Everything appears to be going well. After 5 weeks of vacation I managed to only gain 7 pounds which is surprising (can you say “schnitzel and pommes frites”!) and good since I hadn’t gained any to date. I’m getting VERY uncomfortable now though. I’m feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions more this time around for sure and running on almost empty everyday now. By the end of the day my stomach is stretched so tight and every muscle hurts. I’d say falling into bed is welcomed relief, but even that hurts. I’m just holding on for 4 more weeks until our mamas get here to relieve me and there will be much more whining in the meantime I’m sure!
We also had Clara’s 1 year well baby check up today. She weighed in at 27 lbs and stretches out at 31 1/2 inches long. “Big baby” is an understatement! Our doctor was glad to see such a healthy baby.
Happy Birthday Clara!

I know, Clara’s birthday isn’t until next Wednesday the 16th (trust me, I remember that day) but since that’s the day Phil and I will be landing in Helsinki FINLAND we won’t be here to celebrate with our big one year old. Don’t think about that too long because it will make you sad, but remind yourself that Clara has no idea what June 16th even means and she’ll be having way more fun with her Grandparents and cousins to even care that it’s her first birthday. She’ll just have to wait for birthday cake until Mama and Daddy get home.
Anyway, I took her 12 month portrait a little early since I don’t think she’ll change too much before the big day. She certainly has changed so much over the last few weeks. We don’t see her crawling anymore now that she’s a big walker and those 4 teeth up top have done away with her little baby look! She can say “hi” and “bye-bye” and copies everything Lily does. This next year is gonna be FUN! We love you Clara!
