The latest on Lil' Fisher

    

    Today we went to Dr.Pushkin to have our 36 week checkup.

She did an ultrasound so she could do measurements of Lil' Fisher and approximate her current weight. 

We had some guesses from family about how big she would be:

Mom guessed 5 lbs 11 oz

Dad said 5 lbs 4 oz

Grandpa Fisher said 5 lbs 7 oz

Grandma Pat said 6 lbs

Grandma Phyllis said 5 lbs 2 oz

And the result was 5 lbs 12 oz.. 

So I would say that makes Momma Fisher the winner. 

(I sooo know my child already) Hah Hah. 

Lil' Fisher is right where she should be and is measuring average sizes for everything. No big head to report thankfully. 

The doctor did mention that she does have very long legs though. 

My amniotic fluid is a bit low so Dr. Pushkin wants me to monitor Lil' Fisher's movement and to make sure to drink a bit more water daily. Hope you enjoy the video from today! It is of Lil' Fisher's face. ( It is not the best quality.. but it made me smile)

Lil' Fisher's Nursery..

With time running out.. Tony has switched gears from the studio, and is now focused on getting our little girl's room done ... hopefully before her arrival. I have faith that it will happen. I wish there was more I could do to help. But right now all I do is take up space. Hah Hah.

Thank you Scott for your help!

A snow filled Valentine's Day!

Momma Fisher rocking her snow goggles! No need for them.. But I was trying to get in the spirit!



Tony and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. We woke up early and headed up to the mountains.. the Mt.Baldy area. Only a little over an hour drive away from here. Layla had never played in the snow before and we wanted the pups to have a real winter experience for once. Well it wasn't really a winter experience, because it was about 75 degrees out. But it was fun for them to run around and chase snowballs down the hill. We also let them play in a river for a while too. We found a pretty hiking trail on our way out of town and enjoyed a leisurely hour long hike too! It was such a special way to spend the day and then at night we went out for a yummy meal. We hope that you all had a wonderful love- filled day too!

Infant Projector 2000

"Infant Projector 2000"

We found out about this wonderful new technology and had to give it a go. It only cost 1,000 a parent. But was so worth it.. Just look how cute Lil Fisher could be. Thank goodness Mom and Dad are so dang good looking....

I couldn't resist...

Layla likes to hang out with Lil' Fisher on a nightly basis. Looks pretty comfy doesn't it?

33 Weeks !

Some amazing and interesting info about baby at 33 weeks:

Your baby weighs about 4.4 pounds at this point. The crown-to-rump length of your baby is approximately 12 inches and the total length is around 19.4 inches. Measuring from the top of your uterus to your bellybutton is 5.2 inches. Total weight gain at this point of pregnancy is usually 22 to 28 pounds.

With the exception of crying, your baby is capable of doing everything that a newborn baby will do. Your baby is restricted now inside of the uterus, but still can kick and move. Your baby sleeps a lot of the time, just as newborn babies do. Your baby's eyes move in the manner of REM sleep and researchers believe that babies can dream vividly in uterus. When your baby is awake, she is listening, feeling and learning. There are billions of neurons in the brain that make trillions of connections. Your baby will probably have settled into the birth position by now and your caregiver can most likely tell which way your baby is presenting. If your baby were to be born now, the lungs would probably be strong enough to function properly, but your baby may still need extra care from specially trained doctors and nurses.

During these last few weeks of pregnancy, most women experience an increased urge to urinate. The uterus puts a lot of pressure on the bladder and can send you to the restroom frequently. Your uterus has actually grown 500 times throughout your pregnancy! Red blood cell production catches up with the production of plasma and physiological anemia may begin to fade at this time.

Your baby's eyes open during alert times and close during sleep. The eye color is usually blue, regardless of the permanent color as pigmentation is not fully developed. The final formation of eye pigmentation requires exposure to light and usually happens a few weeks after birth.

The Changing Table! Hurray!

Latest news from Adventures of Lil' Fisher

So the studio out back is coming along... but not as fast as we would have liked.. This weekend we decided to go ahead and get a storage space. It is only temporary while we work around the house. We put some of Tony's records and all of Lil' Fisher's stuff inside of it for now. Now we will be able to get all the work done in her room ( hopefully before she arrives). The changing table weighed about 90 lbs .. so we decided not to move that into storage. Last night Tony put it together and it looks good! We were both surprised at how big it actually is.... But I am sure it just takes some getting used to! Tony is working hard trying to get everything in order. It is like a race to the finish line.. and we don't know where (or when... in this situation) that finish line is. Little Fisher could come early.. Little Fisher could come late. Now its just really a waiting game!
I can not wait to put together the whole entire room. Lots to do around here in the next few weeks!

Stomp on my Belly

Last night Tony and I went to see STOMP at the Pantages Theater! It was a great show.. filled with awesome dancing and creative ways of making beats and music! It was very exciting for Lily as well! She has never moved around so much as she did last night. Maybe all the rhythm and vibrations got to her.. because she was on the move! I think I finally experienced Braxton Hicks contractions for the first time as well. And found myself attempting some breathing exercises halfway through the show. Hah Hah! The whole entire show was spent with my hands on my belly in amazement that this little baby was dancing the night away. I can't believe that we will meet this little girl in about 7 weeks time!

Studio update: It's getting there!

Tony is almost done putting the roof on.. then we will not have to worry about rain anymore! Phew!

32 weeks belly pic.. Don't get scared now!

This is my belly at 32 weeks!
I have a feeling I am going to be pretty big by the time Lil' Fisher finally arrives! Aahhhh!


Lil' Fisher weighs just about 4 lbs now and will most likely double in weight in the next 8 weeks! Wowza! This should be fun! Hah Hah!

So spicy and sweet!

I came home to a wonderful home cooked meal this evening.
Spicy and sweet asian pork with brussel sprouts with garlic and roasted almonds!
Yummy Yummy Yummy. Tony is quite the chef and I am one lucky momma to be!
Many thanks to my special hubby and daddy to be!


I ate so much and was oh so tired that I quickly got cozy on the couch.. So did the puppies (...Dasher has to wear this silly cone because he has been biting at his leg)
It looks like he is suctioned to my butt! Hah Hah!



P.S. Tomorrow Lil' Fisher is 32 weeks! Just 8 more weeks to go!
