34 weeks... oh my!

Wow, we only have a month and a half (and maybe not that long) to go! I don't think my belly is getting much bigger, but the baby is very heavy and I am getting tired (like exhausted) very easily. We are still sleeping very well, despite middle of the night rib-kicking sessions.

After the next two weeks (A-exam, wedding), we will both be able to spend our days lounging (as needed!) and gardening! We'll be saving our energy for the "grand finale", as my Mom called it. Of course, there's also the possibility that Baby won't arrive til mid-July, but I think he'd weigh about 12 pounds by then! So, I hope he comes on or before his due date.

The stroller and carseat are here, and are very nice... all that is missing right now are some bassinet sheets that actually fit, and a NAME for the baby (small detail). Last night Bruno remembered his early fondness for "Angelo", and so, the deliberation continues... Any suggestions? ; )

Menino acanhado

Today we had an ultrasound to check on the baby and his position. He is doing very well and is just about 5 pounds-- yes, already! And his head is VERY big, measuring at 36 weeks. That's what he gets for being the son of two PhD students... Baby was very shy and hid his face with his hands, despite Dr. Cruz trying to get him to move. He remained lodged near my right hip-- still his favorite place to hide. We did get to see his ear, his nose... but not much. But what we saw was adorable, of course. And, we confirmed that he is definitely a boy!

Mensagem especial para o vovô e a vovó: a Malia agora olha para aquela minha foto e fica preocupada com o tamanho da minha cabecinha. Especialmente agora que ela viu o tamanho da cabecinha do Bruninho, hehehe! Mas ele, muito acanhado, dessa vez não deixou o médico tirar uma foto do seu rostinho. Essa foto é a que ficou melhorzinha... e já está grande, pesando 5 libras, ou pouco mais de 2 quilos! Beijos!
