Below is a copy of one of the weekly newsletters my friend, Heather, sent to our friends at work during my pregnancy as the BPA (Baby Personal Assistant):
E JO MEL IS ABOUT TO POP!!! Well sort of, that baby is ready to
meet all of us, I can feel it! So extra prayers we can induce her here
at the office! :-)
Baby Leakey:
-The baby is really plump.
-He now has a firm grasp, so he can hold your hand or shake a blue pompon around for Michigan!
-His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb… therefore Erika should give birth sooner, rather than later.
-Wonder what color the baby's eyes are going to be? Well don't. You may not be able to tell right away.
-If
he's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If he's born with
steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green,
hazel, or brown by the time he's 9 months old. That's because a
child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in
the
months
after he's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue.
(Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue
eyes.)
Mama Jane Goodall:
-The waiting game we will play! It's a good time to double check the nursery!
-We must also be taking NAPS. It is a must. This is also a good
time to spend time with your ghost husband b/c when the baby comes there
will be someone else getting all the attention.
-Kankles are here or at least coming. Swelling in feet and ankles
is very normal. If there is rapid swelling everywhere or in certain
places call the doctor quickly.
-Also be wary of severe headaches, blurry vision, seeing spots or
lights, temporary loss of vision, upper abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting- these are part of preeclampsia and need to be addressed
quickly.
Here is some light reading on inducing labor!
Happy Tuesday! The baby will be here so soon!!!!!
