He Listens Well For Being So Young

Sunday I turned 35 weeks and had a little chat with the belly boy. It went something like this:

Me: So um, from what I hear you are BIG and while I loves me a baby with some meat on his bones, if you get too much they are going to want to rip you out of there

Baby: (kick kick)

Me: yeah, I’m not so down with that either.

Baby: (hiccuping)

Me: So let’s work on you coming before that amnio date MMMkay?

Baby: (spasms kicks and twists)

Belly: (Contracts)

Me: (Looks at clock) Hmm, well that’s a good start. Let’s turn that into something son.

5 hours and 4 minutes later at 35 weeks gestation Baby Boden (aka Bo) rocketed into the world weighing a whopping 7 lbs 6 oz and measuring 19 inches long.

    oh my gosh! he is a doll!! precious and perfect in every way!

  15. Suzi Says:

    WOW! That was FAST! He’s absolutely beautiful, like all your babies, but he has a look all his own. I see a resemblance in your other three, but I think Bo has a look all his own. Does he look more like you?

    What a perfect size, too. He’s exactly the weight and height of my Kelly, but she was born at 40 weeks. Can you even imagine how big your guy would have been, had he messed around gestating a few more weeks?!

    Congratulations to you and your family!
