Baby Connell weighs over 5 pounds and is just over 18 inches long, Mama Connell can't remember the last time she was comfortable and Papa Connell has eBay fever and is selling his precious hockey cards online.
Next week is my last week of work so you can imagine how productive I've been the last couple days. I've trained my replacement, run my reports and am cruising through next week with a series of lunch dates.
So 5 more weeks until Junior makes an appearance. I'm going to go on record to say that I think I'll deliver earlier than my due date, mostly because pregnancy has worn out it's welcome and I'm dying to meet the little one who's been kicking the crap out of me the last few months. Owen's calling for March 11 whereas I think it could be earlier than that. I have an ultra sound coming up so we'll see if Junior's made his or her decent into my pelvis (shudder).
Owen and I have the hospital tour on Monday after work and I have my bi-weekly appointment with Dr. Pervy on Tuesday.
I hope to have a new picture to post next Friday. I'll make Owen zoom in on what I think might be a stretch mark on my belly. As soon as Aunt Maureen and Lori commented about how good I looked and where were the stretch marks ol' stretchy appeared. I showed Paula the mark during Survivor Thursday last night and she's not convinced it even is one. If I get through this pregnancy mark-free I'll have to chalk it up to good genes and my nightly application of Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter for Stretched Skin.
Remember when all I talked about was new shoes? Yeah, I miss those days too.

wow;i look at the start of your blog & to think you have 4 wks &4 days till your due date, i have really enjoyed reading it, thats the only reason i wanted a computer& to email all my sisters. the next few weeks will soon be here, & i will be there cheering you on ,or smoking with owen & maybe having a nitecap for aunt joan ha ha xxxxxgrammie
Wow, I think the time went fast - I have a feeling you'd disagree. How are your dedicated blog readers going to know you are in actual labour? Will Owen take up the gauntlet, er,um, mouse?
I went online to look at some sights about the final weeks of pregnancy - I was a bit curious. From what I've read you need to sit, stand, lay with your legs spread totally apart and also laying too much is not good due to lack of gravity. These are my words of wisdom! :-)
It's true - the "strech mark" looked more like an indent that a waistband or something would make. Either way, you look fantastic and I loved feeling Junior kick!! I am so happy for you and Owen!
See ya this Thursday for Survivor - and as you said, Junior will be with us for the finale this time!!!
Love ya, P
