i could get used to this!


what a lovely day to see all of our friends at the park! there's nothing better then a little quality time with friends to make your day brighter! it's beautiful outside--fall is my favorite (if only it didn't mean that winter was coming!!).
before meeting our friends at the park, amelie slept in till 9 (yay!!) and then we headed off to get her flu shot. she hasn't been to the doctors in agessss so she was a little perplexed and nervous about being there! i was feeling guilty for getting her an "elective" shot but would hate to see her get the flu this year if we can prevent it! the doctor came in and gave her the shot and she didn't cry at all! she just looked at me, held the arm OPPOSITE to the one that got the shot and said, "ow, mommy!" she continued to tell me that the arm that didn't rec. the shot hurt--which made me laugh a little--but she forgOt all about it once we got to the park and saw all of our buddies!
oh yeah, and if one more stranger proclaims i must be due any minute i'm not gonna answer nicely! maybe i'll just keep maeve around forever because i LOVE being 9 months pregnant just that much....on second thought...maybe not! i find the surest answer is always to say--oh, i'm overdue--so any day now! ha!

maeve is moving along--and right up and into my rib cage! here's the update on my still belly bound baby!
Week 38
Your Baby's Development
This is the week in which Baby begins to outgrow the watery home where she's been developing these past nine months. Baby should weigh almost seven pounds this week, but at a length of about 21 inches, Baby hasn't grown much taller. The average full-term newborn weighs between six and nine pounds and is 18 to 21 inches long.

Here are a few other developments this week:

Although Baby's growth is slowing, fat will continue to accumulate to help insulate Baby even more for her entry to the outside world.
Meconium (Baby's feces) will continue to build up in her intestines.
By now, the circumference of baby's head and abdomen are about the same.
