Well, we are getting into the final countdown for Baby Lerch \#2! Emil
|
||
|
|
and I are both excited and still in a state of disbelief/denial that
|
||
|
|
there are going to be two babies to care for now. What a big job -
|
||
|
|
yikes!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emil has decided to run the stats game again - so please do visit our
|
||
|
|
website at http://www.lerch.org/baby and input your guesses for
|
||
|
|
gender/weight/length and date of birth. You do not need to register, but
|
||
|
|
do need to provide a phone number so we can call you! For additional fun
|
||
|
|
Emil has decided to let folks enter in a name they would like to suggest
|
||
|
|
for the baby. We could pick your name since we still haven't decided!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To give everyone an even playing field on which to base their guess I'll
|
||
|
|
provide a few facts about this pregnancy:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's pretty much the same as when I was pregnant with Kathryn except for
|
||
|
|
me hurting my back (I'm much better now!) I still crave ice cream like
|
||
|
|
before. The only new thing is an addiction to root beer. I would say I
|
||
|
|
was a bit more nausous in the begining with this one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The heart rate is slower at around 136 beats per minute than Kathryn's
|
||
|
|
was in utero.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This baby moves significantly less than Kathryn did.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think I am carrying the baby the same as before.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regarding the due date - when I was pregnant with Kathryn I was in labor
|
||
|
|
for a grand total of 8 hours (very fast for first pregnancy) and I was 4
|
||
|
|
cm for about a week before her estimated due date. With this pregnancy I
|
||
|
|
am at 4 cm right now! Seeing as Kathryn was 1 day early and I'm already
|
||
|
|
progressing the doctor does not think I'll deliver after December 19th.
|
||
|
|
That being said she has been wrong with my friend twice! :-) Regardless
|
||
|
|
of due date there doesn't seem to be any debate that this labor will be
|
||
|
|
very fast!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Happy guessing!
