34 weeks

OK...Hagrid can come out now. I'm tired of lugging around the extra weight!

Everything is going tickety-boo. baby is growing by leaps and bounds. He's going to be BIG! I find out at today's appointment if the doctor still thinks he's going to induce me. Then, an ultrasound in two weeks to confirm how big he is. At the rate he's going, he's going to be at least 9.5lbs...par for the course in this family!

The nursery is ready. All that's missing is a baby.

Oh, and we have changed our minds about the diaper service. In theory, it would be a GREAT idea...and I still wish we could do it, but in practicality it just costs too much. So we're going to be using disposable diapers. I still plan on buying some cloth ones though for use at home. Craigslist has lots of used ones for sale dead cheap.
I'm kind of bummed about this, but hey, money doesn't grow on trees.

What else? Oh yeah, I was at Zellers yesterday and found an awesome sling. The best part about it is that I originally wanted a mamankangourou sling, but they cost upwards of $70 EACH! So, instead, for the same price, I was able to get the sling AND a mobile.

John put the mobile together last night. I tried out the sling with Norm. Norm doesn't like it. I don't know why?

*UPDATE*

Got back from the doctors this afternoon and baby Hagrid is doing well. He's measuring in at 36 weeks though. So, technically, he's fully cooked and can come any time he wants now.

Doctor's in no rush to do anything yet though. I'm a big strapping lass and he's sure I can manage delivering a giant.

Is Hugh a Hansen family name? I was just checking out your baby pool and saw that name. Was that John's mom?
I love that name!! Hugh would be nice.

I don't think John's mum is named Hugh.
