Comfy Cozy

It's no secret that I absolutely love autumn, and Terra and I have been doing our best to get out and enjoy the awesome weather lately. We really like walking along a trail in a park near us, along with the stay-at-home moms and retired folks who are out mid-day. Yesterday, a 70+ year-old man was walking the trail with us, and he lapped us not once, but twice. And, the trail is only a half mile around! So much for power walking while pregnant.

In baby-related news, we had another doctor's appointment today. My blood pressure has actually gone down but my weight gain has risen to a total of 35 pounds to date. My doctor checked the cervix, and it looks like no progress has been made there at all. No dilation, no effacement. Cali seems very cozy right where she is. She has not dropped, but she is at least turned the right way - head down. The doctor thinks that she is about 7 pounds right now. This means that we are in for one big baby. As Carl says, if you're going to do it, do it big. Very big words for someone who does not actually have to give birth to this enormous baby. But, she still has a nice strong heartbeat and is apparently comfortable where she is. And, as long as she's okay, we're okay. Maybe if she decides to stay too long, we'll just have to make the environment a little less pleasing. Spicy food anyone...
