Eviction Notice

My Baking Time:

40 Weeks. Momma is beyond ready.

How Big Am I:

The size of a watermelon.

Momma says I feel like the size of a calf.
She told me I better not come feet-first like calves do though...

from Google

My stats:

20.16 inches from crown to heel and 7.63 pounds

(remember, this is a guesstimate Momma got offline)

Doctor:

Doc said Momma was at 1 cm Friday, July 13th.
Wednesday, July 18th, the midwife said Momma was at 2 cm and she could feel my head!

Sleep:

Better than it could be, but could be better.

Movement:

All. The. Time.
Especially when Daddy touches the belly.

Cravings/Aversions:

Momma is finally having a "craving" of sorts...

All pregnancy she hasn't wanted many sweet things. She might eat something here and there, but could go without easily.
(This wasn't really new as Momma didn't eat many sweets before she got pregnant; it was even less after I came on the scene.)

Well, now she is liking sweet things more...mainly popsicles because it's been so hot lately; but still sweeter than what she's been eating. 😜

What is Happening On the Farm:

Happy Birthday to my Daddy! He turned 32 yesterday!

Uncle Peter baled some second cut (not much more than alfalfa since we haven't had much for rain), and also combined the winter wheat. He's going to try grinding some of the wheat himself to make bread with it.

Auntie Caiti arrived this weekend! I can't wait to meet her!

My stats:

19.96 inches from crown to heel and 7.25 pounds

(remember, this is a guesstimate Momma got offline)

Doctor: 

Same as every other visit - Momma and i are both strong and healthy. 😊 They'll check Momma next visit to see if there is any progress.

Sleep: 

Momma is very thankful for any sleep she can get nowadays.

Movement: 

I made Momma have some pain this week 😔

I got my butt and/or legs stuck up under her ribs, which stretched them and made her be in pain for most of a day. The doctor gave Momma some ideas on how to move me, and I finally did move further down.

Overall my movement has gotten stronger.

Momma is feeling more frequent and stronger Braxton Hicks. She thinks it won't be too much longer now (at least she hopes not 😜 ).

What is Happening On the Farm: 

It was so hot and since first cut hay was all in, Grampa B decided to take a day off between chores. So we all went to Schroon Lake in New York for a picnic and swimming. Momma said she could have stayed in the water all day - it felt so good! She joked that she was a human submarine with me in her belly. 😝

Momma says the cows really don't do well in the hot weather. They dropped on milk a bit before the humidity finally broke. They and Momma were very thankful for the cooler temps.

Uncle Pete started baling second cut hay the end of this week.
