Week 34 Update

No doctor appointments this week so nothing new medically to report. I am almost as big as a whale, but I am not sure if that's a medical term. I now have 6 weeks to go and am sequestered in Houston until the birth. This will be the longest that I have spent in Houston, so wish me luck.

We were in Austin most of last week for a work shower and Blake's shower. Oh yeah, and for me to work. That kind of got in the way of the socializing! My aunt Becky is apparently on a mission to make Blake and Riley the two best dressed unborn children in the world. And I appreciate her efforts!

Since there is nothing new to report and photos are more fun than my ramblings I will just post some photos.



This is Barrett - aka the father - busy putting together one of Riley's many gifts. He was on a roll for a while but has apparently lost interest, as evidenced by all of the boxes still cluttering our dining room. Yes, I can nag via the blog!




This is Gracie, the current baby of the house. Well, she is my baby and Barrett's nemesis. She was napping between the pillows in our bedroom. Isn't she cute???






This is Laura Lee, Christina and I at Maudie's the day before my shower in early April. Notice the bump. Now multiply by 100 and you will get an idea of what I look like now. It's very important that we start Riley on a diet of Mexican food at an early age. I will let Grandma C introduce her to the importance of the margarita.


Speaking of Grandma C, here she is at my shower. This is an important photo because you will notice that she is thinner than both of her pregnant daughters.

  2. Excellent post! Especially as there are no baby to photos to work with yet. Gracie is indeed very cute, which is surprising based on Clay's post here:

    Just goes to show you can't trust those Stanford researchers...

  3. Gracie still scares the bejeezus out of me. Even in the cute photo "she" wears a lethal scowl.

  4. You have to think of Gracie as a guard cat. Like your friendly Doberman or pit bull. But with a gender-identity crisis.
