On October 16th, 2012 at 1:28pm our little Ellery Florence Labinski was born! She was 9lbs 11ounces and 21 3/4″ long and with cheeks for days. October 16th is a particularly momentous day for several reasons-it was actually the date that Maciej and I started dating. It is also my parent’s wedding anniversary…and now…Ellery’s Birthday! […]
I’ve been waiting for the day when I can say “today is my due date”! Well, that is if I hadn’t given birth already! Baby Size: We don’t know how big the baby is at this point but we can assume it’s big based on the doctor’s observations. The fruit comparison this week is […]
and no baby yet! Baby Size: Big! The fruit comparison this week is a watermelon and that feels entirely too accurate. I definitely look like I am carrying around a watermelon on my tummy! Fun Facts: CLL is able to flex the limbs. S/he is building the layer of fat and slough off the outer […]
and a baby could be at any point now too! Baby Size: CLL could be any size at this point…somewhere around 8lbs still? The fruit/veggie comparison is a PUMPKIN! How appropriate! His/her head is now around the same circumference as her abdomen. Fun Facts: Our baby could have almost an inch of hair at this […]
When I first found out we were pregnant, I expected life would change significantly. No more traveling, no more late nights at bars, and no more free time for ourselves. I believed that pregnancy, for me, would be a constant mish-mosh of trying to figure what to do in a situation with which I had […]
Well-40 weeks will really be my “full term” but technically once you reach 37 weeks, if the baby were to be born it would no longer be considered premature. I am jumping ahead with my post for this week because Mach is going to guest post! We thought it might be nice to get some […]
Baby Size: I’m guessing around 7lbs+? The fruit comparison this week is a honeydew melon! Fun Facts: The baby’s kidneys and liver are in working order now. Circulation and immune system are also up and running! How I’m Feeling: I’m feeling good! I have managed to get a sleeping pattern down a bit and adjusted […]
This past weekend we went to CT to pick up the remaining items that my Mom so kindly washed for us and to install the car seat! Mach did all the installing and it looks great! We weren’t sure how Sophie would take sharing the backseat with the new toy-she seemed skeptical at first! But […]
Baby Size: I am guessing the baby is probably somewhere in the upper 6lb range? Length wise 17.2-18.7″ long (again, I’d guess closer to the longer side) The fruit comparison the websites tell me is a coconut, although I think CLL might be bigger than that. Fun Facts: The baby’s hearing is fully developed and […]
Baby Size: So, we had a doctor’s appointment on Monday for my checkup and it was noted that during my 20 week sonogram the placenta was low-lying. They wanted me to get checked again to make sure it had moved. This is very normal and most of the time will have moved once pregnancy progresses. […]
