Meet Timothy Charles Young

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on October 13, 2010

Just a couple of hours after Ray recorded my last prego update on Sunday afternoon, I went in to labor. But, not before my mom and sisters threw me a lovely surprise baby shower! A wonderful afternoon with the girls is just what I needed before welcoming Timothy Charles in to the world.

Boy, was I glad to finally meet him face to face!

I’m still pregnant…

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on October 10, 2010

Ray finds it amusing to take short little video clips of me these days. Perhaps I should be thankful to have these last few days of my pregnancy forever documented. Call me crazy, but I really just find it annoying…

Baby Update – He’ll Be Here Soon!!

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 30, 2010

Yesterday’s OB appointment proved to be very encouraging!

I just had a feeling I was further along this whole time, but I hadn’t seen my OB since my ultrasound. Instead, I had seen the nurse practitioner who only dismissed my measurements, due to the fact that this was my seventh baby and my body “knows what to do.”

Um, okay.

Now, at 35 weeks, I am measuring in at 38 cm and have already gained 50 pounds! That’s more than any of my other pregnancies at full term, so I feel huge. I honestly think I am closer to 39 weeks, so I feel good about my size and the size of the baby.

Doc says that I am already beginning to dilate and as soon as Baby drops she is sure that my cervix will begin to efface, as well. Her guesstimate for the arrival of Baby? Within two weeks!!

Drop, Baby, drop!

Aloha, Baby!

September 22, 2010

Tweet First, it was six beautiful handprints that graced my baby bump. Now, what could be better than an ocean sunset, complete with seven starfish – one to represent each of our blessings, to cover my belly? I can almost hear those calming ocean waves now… I have to say that it’s just fabulous to [...]

Handprints on my belly!

September 8, 2010

Tweet My sister-in-law, Lisa, was over the other night, with her bodypaint, and thought it would be fun to have all of my kiddos leave a colorful print on my big baby belly to form a flower. It didn’t quite turn out the way Lisa had hoped, but it was great fun for my kiddos, [...]

Quickening

May 26, 2010

Tweet Sitting ever so still, I sense a faint tickle inside my womb. I know it’s you I feel and I smile. Your movement makes me think of a butterfly trying to escape my cupped hands. I imagine you dancing, flittering, and flying – like a butterfly – as you grow, develop, and change. Soon [...]

Is It All In My Head?

April 3, 2010

Tweet Let’s talk about food for a minute. Really I could talk about it all day, because… well, I pretty much think about food all day. I’d like to blame my recent food obsession on this baby I’m growing. You see, I can’t wait until I’m hungry to eat. In fact, I haven’t experienced hunger [...]
