Three is a Good Number: November 2010
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. 14 Weeks is officially the start of the 2nd trimester, and since 13 weeks is the end of the first, I feel like I've been in No-Man's-Land for the past week :) Some exciting things are happening: I think I have a little tiny bump now! I'm not sure anyone else can tell, but my stomach is definitely not completely flat anymore. Little flutters of movement. :) So sweet! He or she is a real person. Tiny, but real :). No wonder I've been so tired- all that ...

Three is a Good Number: 38 Weeks
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011/05/38-weeks.html
Three is a Good Number. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Oh man, I am so SICK of being pregnant all of a sudden! I wish this kid would just be born already! I never thought I would make it this far, yet here I am at 38 weeks. The contractions hurt and so do my lower belly muscles. They're so sore, in fact, that it's painful for me to even lift my leg to move my foot from the gas pedal to the brake in the car! Anyway, my contractions are strong or regular enough to warrant a call to the doctor yet. He gets the hicc...

Three is a Good Number: A Baby is Born!
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011/05/baby-is-born.html
Three is a Good Number. Thursday, May 19, 2011. A Baby is Born! May 19, 2011. 7 lbs, 5 oz. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In every era, there's been a tragic contrast between the burden of unwanted pregnancies and the burden of infertility. This is the paradox of America's unborn: No life is so desperately sought after, so hungrily desired, so carefully nurtured. And yet no life is so legally unprotected, and so frequently destroyed.".

Three is a Good Number: February 2011
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. This is the end of the second trimester! I can't believe I am at this point already. Littlest is growing more and more every day. He weighs a little over 2 lbs already and is about 14 inches long. That's roughly 2/3 of his final length! It's comforting to know that he has a very good chance of survival at this point. All organs are fully funcitonal except for lungs. I haven't had any cravings this pregnancy, and I keep waiting for them to pop up. ...

Three is a Good Number: March 2011
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Thursday, March 31, 2011. This week we decided on a theme for the nursery. It's still going to be cars and trucks, but we've also added planes and decided on a paint color. Justin was at Menards for something unrelated and picked up this little card:. I never thought I would like orange, but I think it looks really good! I've been excited to have another baby for a while, but now I'm really getting excited about another BOY baby. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Tuesday, March 29, 2011.

Three is a Good Number: 35 Weeks
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011/04/35-weeks.html
Three is a Good Number. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Littlest and I had another ultrasound Monday afternoon! LOTS and lots of great news to share- he is head down and engaged in the pelvis, so he will stay that way until birth (barring any anomalies); fluid levels are normal; still very much a BOY (even. Could tell on that darn black and white screen this time) which is good at this point because the room is boy-ready now; heartbeat is back up to 148 bpm;. He weighs a whopping 5 lbs now! It seems the posit...

http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Today I am 5 weeks pregnant- 35 to go! Well, I'm hoping for maybe only 34 or 33 1/2. :). My due date is Wednesday, May 25, 2011. I'm going to go ahead and predict the arrival to be: : : Saturday, May 21, 2011. Any takers on that bet, or other predictions? I'm feeling pretty good so far. Mostly just starving all. the. time! This week, Baby is about the size of a sesame seed, but his or her heart is already forming chambers and starting to pump blood!

Three is a Good Number: January 2011
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Littlest now weighs probably a little over a pound and is roughly 11 inches long head to toe. His movements are easily felt from the outside of my belly now, though they are still low enough (around my hips) that I don't want a lot of other people touching yet :) He can hear loud noises now, and I can tell he sometimes reacts to the dogs barking if they are very close to me. Thursday, January 20, 2011. He is still wedged into my pelvic area so it's a litt...

Three is a Good Number: April 2011
http://zennfamily5.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Three is a Good Number. Friday, April 29, 2011. Wow- a lot going on this week. The contractions are getting stronger and more painful, but still completely irregular and will quickly go away if I get up and walk around. I also get them when I'm walking around for long periods of time, like at the grocery store or the mall. Definitely still Braxton-Hicks though! It looks so fresh and clean. I also vacuumed everything upstairs and edged around all the baseboards with my new Bissell. Handheld. It's tech...
