Cutie

Sportin' a cute little shirt given to him by his cousin Kyler.

Bouncer Chair

I started putting him in this little chair today and he seems to like it. It has a vibration feature and it seems to sooth him for a bit.

Waiting....

Well, only 5 days until the due date.

I went to the doctor today and I have finally dilated. Only 1 centimeter. But, at least something is happening! She said my cervix is still very posterior though. So, I am not expecting anything to happen right away.

My regular doctor is actually out of town, so I have been meeting with a different doctor the past couple of weeks. But, my doctor already scheduled for me to meet with her on Monday (the day after my due date and her first day back) if he hasn't come by then. The, she might induce me on Tuesday!

Really, it seems little Robby is waiting for his Grandma Kirkham to get here before he makes his debut. My mom told me months ago that she and him have "an arrangment"-- he can't come before she gets here! Well, she gets here TOMORROW (Wedensday). So, we'll see if anything progresses after that!

Almost there!

Less than 6 weeks left...????

WHOA!

As we returned from our trip to Utah, heat and humidity start to set in and it starts to hit me that.... it is getting SERIOUSLY CLOSE to when this baby will be born!!!

At church on Sunday I was saying hello to our friends, the Ziemer family. Jared--my little pal who is almost 7 years old-- looks at me and says. "Hi Jenni! You... ummm.... You......" (I could see he was looking at my protruding belly)..... "Your baby is getting bigger!" I couldn't help but laugh and be very impressed at how tactful he really was with that statement! I was waiting for the typical embarrassing, brutally honest statement most children would make, such as "Wow! You've gotten really fat!" Hahaha.... good ol' Jared.

Well, he is right. My baby is DEFINITELY getting bigger! It is amazing how much I've grown in the past few weeks.

Here I am, at just over 34 weeks.

Baby Shower

Thanks to my friends in Toledo 1st ward that threw a baby shower for me. We had it a little early so that we could do it before all those who's husbands just graduated from med school moved off to their residencies. And before others, including myself, left for summer trips. 

It was so different to be the one in the seat being "showered." Honestly, there were times in the past years when I had feared I would never make it far enough in a pregnancy to be able to celebrate with friends in this way! 

I received so many cute little clothes and other fun things for Little Robby!

 Thanks again, everyone! And thanks to my friend Keriann for hosting it :) 

28 weeks!

Wow.... I am now in the third trimester. I can already feel that these last months are going to speed by so fast. Man, I love this little baby already..... I just can't get over how amazing it is to have this little person inside me and to think that in a few months I'll be holding him in my arms!!! What a miracle this whole process is.

This week I made myself this dress.

It works well with the pregnant belly protruding.

My next sewing project I'll be doing is Little Robby's blessing outfit.

I am making that little suit on the right (not doing the bonnet though....). Hopefully it turns out alright!
