35 weeks and 5 days…
We went back to the midwives today and all appears well. Bump is head down, right where they want him to be. His feet have a preference for my right side, where they can occasionally be seen sticking out. The movement of my belly is cool, amazing, and (to be frank) still a little freaky …
Handiwork – Mom made…
Somehow I had imagined that by this stage in the game I would have whipped up dozens of baby items for Bump. In fact, I have completed 2 sweaters and 2 hats. Unfortunately one sweater and one hat were for another baby. So at this point I have a sweater for the little guy and …
Handiwork – Taggie
As promised, here are some more examples of the wonderful handiwork done for Bump… I had never heard of a Taggie until KTB showed us the one in the works for Bump. In retrospect I may have seen one, but I had to look up “Taggie” online to see what the appeal might be for …
Pregnancy Stereotypes
Today there has been: – a pregnant waddle – difficulty getting out of chairs – a few complaints that won’t make it onto this page (TMI) – more Braxton Hicks… Welcome to the final 4 (weeks or so) countdown!

Yesterday I promised more about Bump info, but got a little distracted by the wonderful shower at HMS. Here’s a list of qualities that have already been ascribed to Bump. Time will tell if they are accurate. – He is a squirmer: this one doesn’t need time. It is definitely accurate right now. – He …
When not to use technology…
Here’s a little reminder from our friends Trevor and Alia about when NOT to use technology. Thanks you guys!
Wearable Art
In the first of many posts illustrating the creativity and generosity of the staff at HMS, here are some of the beautiful “onesies” decorated by my coworkers. There are more to come apparently? It rocks that we will be able to dress Bump for some time without having to do laundry! PS – I don’t …
Thank you!!!!
Thanks of this magnitude require more than a little blog post, but we wanted to express as soon as possible how overwhelmed we are by the incredible generosity of the Horace Mann community. Jeremy & I are so blessed to have you all in our lives and we can’t wait to introduce you to “Bump” …
