to keep me from going directly to jail

the blog police called and said i must post again. okay so i am bad.
i will make this a quickie update post. here are some news tidbits buzzing around the Christopher household:

1---Tiny Troy, as i now call my baby bun i am baking, is not so tiny after all. ha ha I knew i was not crazy. he currently has estimated weight of 4.5 pounds. he is 78% percentile for a 31 wk old bun. another comparison is this: i get a weekly email from babycenter.com that reminds me what week i am. it was saying this week that my baby might weigh 3 pounds by this point. Looks like Troy will possibly follow in his big brother's footsteps: our mancat Little Dee who is so not little, who weighs 20 pounds but has been even porkier in the past. ha ha
my belly has been just bursting for what seems like forever. i was saying golly this boy is going to be a "big ole good un". my doc says if Tiny T continues at this growth rate he might weigh 8.5 at birth. i can handle that. but also dr. Jack says Troy might have had a growth spurt and now he could taper off and not be biggie size after all. so to sum up, dr. jack says "don't freak on me".
2---Tiny Troy is head down for the duration. He ain't goin nowhere ---he has no wiggle room. I have lucked out 2 for 2 thus far on baby's position. (jenny was head down)
I always thought it would be a bummer to have to have c-section just because of breech etc. having to do c-section for other reasons is another thing altogether.
on the other hand, if you have scheduled c-section cause of baby's position, that is like several weeks that you have to get used to the idea of surgery. If you are in labor for eons and then they say "surprise! c section right now!" then you are like huh huh HOLD ON A MINUTE at least i would be.
3---Jenny is 100% in the big girl bed!!!! more on that later.
4---Jenny's b'day party coming up end of June. yes a whole month early. hello i could go into labor on or before her actual b'day---july 24. and all moms know that the whole b'day party routine has all the potential to do things like make all your hair fall out...... or perhaps make you go into labor.
5---had a baby shower this weekend!!!! more on that later also. waiting for pictures from generous people who took some (aka you Nina) and also must examine pictures closely for a few days to estimate how fat I look before they make the cut. (where was my camera? oh at home with dead battery as usual.)
6---8th wedding anniversary coming up!!!! freakin old people is what we are. i was thinking today that in 8 more yrs Jenny will be TEN.
we have no plans yet, but will probably celebrate on june 3rd and 4th since those are will's off days.

okay that update will have to satisfy you for a bit, Officer Burleson (and any others of you who were getting impatient).
