Week 36

Hello!

We're down to the last four weeks (what happened to pregnancy taking 9 months?)! The little missy is supposedly around 6 pounds by now, and running out of room in there, which may be why she's so squirmy. Otherwise, her hyperactivity does not bode well for mom and dad. :) At our last doctor's appointment, she was measuring a little small, but the doctor said it might be because she is still a little crooked in there; her rear is currently under my right ribs. She will probably straighten out on her own, but we will see. We are now going in for appointments every week, barring more weather. :)

Over this past weekend, we did get about 28 inches of snow, which (awesome) Sean took care of for us. The roads in our little subdivision are okay, probably because they are taken care of by the condo association, but the rest of the region is still trying to clean up. On the bright side, we had a snow day today, which we spent trying to get the house a little more ready for our new addition (in about a month!) Now we are due for another big storm tomorrow--probably half as much snow, but more wind and maybe some sleet or frozen rain. We're not sure where the snow will go, but we will be staying in yet again. Hopefully we can have another productive day.

Finally, our little missy has a name! She will be, barring any unexpected anatomy, Caitlin Elisabeth Whaley. Caitlin is Gaelic and supposedly means 'pure.' Sean came up with it (yay Sean!), and we both really like it. It will get a little long when we have to start filling out all of her paperwork, but it could be worse. The paperwork will start shortly, as we have already started checking out daycares and pediatricians. We had hoped to go visiting this week, but with the weather most of them are closed today, probably tomorrow, and some have already closed for Wednesday.
