Now I did not grow up with any boys, but I dread the day (if we have a boy) that I walk into his room and find a half naked girl on the walls. Maybe I should just send his father in after a certain point. Sister, you should probably remember this too.
This week the weight is at 134.8, and 36.25 inches. Here are the regular pictures, and I have added one from the front just for fun. It looks rounded from the front as well. It is amazing what laying off the Jack in the Box milkshakes will do for weight gain. But, oh how I miss them.
Oh yeah, I received my first unsolicited belly rub yesterday. It was a client who is a nurse at a doctors office. So, not a complete stranger. I am still going to assume that will never happen.
Has anyone done cord blood banking? Who did you use and why? have you had any problems since choosing that particular company?

Oh, my Nicole. The first of many belly rubs, wanted or not. Maybe I should embroider on all of your shirts, "rub at the risk of death". It's just a natural reflex for people to rub a sweet baby soon to be born. Love ya, Nana (also)
Ok goopd luck with all the planning - we were going to find out but i broke down and "had to know" in a weak moment! You look fantastic ..
anmd i am not a fan of stranger belly rubs AT ALL .... or even co-worker ones either
oh, we definitely are seeing the signs of THE BELLY! and I agree, it is natural for family to want to rub it...as the baby grows, and moves...observe the difference the baby jumps about when you rub your tummy, and when DH rubs it...there is a difference...babies , for some reason, want to do jumping jacks for Dad!
maybe DH wants to surprise you with the painted room...watch out...he did that when he was a teenager, and the room was midnight blue, (to match his car)..
Haha - I almost smacked someone yesterday just for pretending to rub my belly - I have no tolerance for people that invade my personal space, especially not in the workplace.
We looked into cord banking but have opted against it for no reason other than it's an expense we can't afford right now. I realize that might be short sighted since on the flipside we definitely wouldn't be able to afford an illness, but with trying to buy a house, expecting a new baby, and all our other expenses, we just can't fathom shelling out another $3K right now.
It's a tough call but one we had to make. ViaCord was our company of choice if we were to go through with it.
Good luck with the decision!
