37 Weeks
Today is June 30, 2006. The last day of the month. My pregnancy is now considered full term. I'm ready whenever you are, Adia! Sometimes I think, 'I can't believe I only have 3 more weeks to go' and sometimes I think, 'I can't believe it's still 3 more weeks!' Although, if I have her in the same timeframe I had Julian, I really only have 6 more days! Now, that's a weird thought! I promise to try to post a more recent pregnancy picture here, soon. I really can't wait to start posting pictures of Adia and Julian and Adia. I hope Julian is excited about becoming a big brother. I'm sure he has no idea what's about to happen, the changes his life is going to take, but my goal is to try and get him as involved as humanly possible.

36 weeks, 3 days pregnant....the countdown begins.... :)
Julian went for his 18 month checkup today and he weighs 25 lbs, and is 32 inches tall, both in the 50th percentile. He did have one vaccination, today, for Hepatitis A. I guess he should have another one in 6 months, and then that will be it for him till he's about 4, the doctor said. The pediatricians we go to are a husband/wife couple and Julian usually sees the wife, but, since she just had her baby (at 37 weeks), she was on maternity leave. We actually like both of the doctors very well, it just so happened that she officially became his pediatrician, I guess since he saw her first. Anyway, they had a girl! They had signs up in the office, and everything! I was very excited for them.
Other than all that, he said Julian was doing just fine, developmentally and all. He said he should be able to practically understand everything we say now, and to be able to understand simple commands. Oh, and at lunch today, he fed himself refried beans and cheese with a spoon all by himself! I was very proud of him.

Julian has his 18 month check-up tomorrow at 10 am. I'm excited to see how much he weighs and how tall he is, now. I can't remember if he has any vaccinations then, but I'm sure he does. That I am NOT excited about! Then, on Thurs., I go for my 37-week tummy check. I really hope this child decides to stay in at least as long as her brother, if not longer. Not that I want to be pregnant anymore (I'm really quite tired of it, to be honest), I just want her to be as fat and healthy as she can possibly be. I also don't like this anticipation of 'when', and 'how'. Will my water break? Will I go into spontaneous labor in the wee hours of the morning like with Julian? Or will it be in the afternoon sometime, and I'll have to call Brian home from work? I know every pregnant woman goes through the same thing, and that I'm just feeling sorry for myself at this point. It's just that there are so many ways this can happen, it's the not knowing that gets to me!

24 Weeks
Ok, I am going to try and add a new post every day until D-Day.... This whole blogging thing is all new to me, so bear with me through this process. I'm going to try to add a pregnancy picture and I'll take more as things progress. Although, I really can't imagine my getting any bigger at this point!

Brian and I are patiently (somewhat) awaiting the arrival of our daughter, Adia. I am 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow (June 23rd). I had a dr.'s appointment today and I am 1 cm dilated, which doesn't mean a whole lot! I dilated to 1 cm with Julian at 30 weeks, and was pregnant for another 2 months! Of course, over the course of that time, I had dilated to 3 cms. before going into 'active labor'.
We don't think Julian knows very much about what is happening or what is about to happen. We ask him, "where's the baby?" and he either points to his own stomach, or to mine. He constantly points out babies in pictures or real ones and the ones on TV shows like 'Birth Day' or 'A Baby Story' (both of which I am addicted to!).
Anyway, I hope to update this blog as much as possible and as much as time permits. Once we get home from the hospital, I will post pictures of Julian and Adia.
