week: thirty-seven
this says it all...

during my last nst appointment i was able to catch the sound of silvie's hiccups on video.
silvie's size:
- watermelon - fiiiiiinallllllly!!!
silvie looks like:

nine months pregnant! woo!!!!
at our last appointment dr. p. was more than happy with the health and progress of silvie and that i've only gained four pounds since the end of june. silvie is growing (now over six pounds...six. pounds!!!) and still moving around like crazy, which rocks.

here is a little video of her crazy movements. i will try to cherish them until we meet her in a few weeks.

25 days to silvie grace...
and...
25 days to burn this...


this week we had an ultrasound to check silvie's growth and development. she is perfect and healthy and right on track. we were hoping to get a clear view of her profile but things are getting a little crowded in there for her now so i guess we'll just have to wait until we meet her face to face in a few weeks. we did get a sneak peek at her nose, one eye and hand in a short 3d glance, but unfortunately no pictures were taken.


last weekend we took our last vacation as three to newport, oregon. although it was a working weekend for adam we were able to squeeze in some good quality time together on the beach and at the oregon coast aquarium.

dude, we're having a baby next month!
this week we had a small scare when i began leaking fluid. thinking it was amniotic fluid; they recommended i get checked in at the family birth center for immediate testing.
three and a half hours later...the results: a "brewing" bladder infection. it explained the leaking fluids (ew) and the light contractions i was having.
hopefully this will be the last hospital accessory i'll receive until our due date.
