FULL TERM this week!

This means the baby should be fully developed and can function on its own without any help - whoo hoo!  We just came back from the doctor's office and had a last minute ultrasound done since the doctor couldn't feel the head and wanted to make sure the baby wasn't in a breeched position (ie. head-up instead of the normal head-down).

Here is today's ultrasound (37 weeks):

  

Baby's grabbing its toes here so you can see the foot and their knuckles on top

Baby's profile; not very clear because it's head's so low

Turns out everything's perfectly normal.  The baby's head had dropped A LOT and that's why the doctor couldn't feel it during the exam.  Does this mean the baby's coming sooner than expected???

Maternity Photo Shoot

As Alex was saying, we decided to invest in a digital SLR with the baby coming and all. He's been working hard at learning all the buttons/functions so we'll be ready to capture all the cute baby moments.  In the meantime, we wanted to have something to remember the belly since it's not going to be around for much longer.

Here's us just having fun & being silly.  Alex is trying to beat the baby in a staring contest.  I didn't realize how big the belly actually was until Alex's head was beside it, I'm essentially carrying his head and a half!

Then we tried to do some more "fancy" shots by copying poses from professional photographers.

                                                                                  

Not bad huh?  I think he did a great job overall! (Although I'm biased of course =D)  

36 weeks and counting!

I wanted to post a few pictures of Vanessa's development along the way
(we also bought a new camera that we're trying out as well)

Vanessa at 30 weeks.

Here is another beautiful picture of Vanessa at 31 weeks

Vanessa at 35weeks

That's it for now. Isn't she beautiful folks!
