Week 37 Update
Our appointment today went well. She is healthy and big! The doctor said she can come anytime now!
We set up a game to guess the due date. It is on www.expectnet.com. The game name is babyglaser. Have fun guessing! It's set up like an office pool or something, but there's no prize. It's just for fun!
Week 36 Update
Four more weeks until the due date of our baby! We are so excited that it is getting closer every day. We had our 36 week appointment, and everything looks good. She looks great, and the doctor is estimating she's going to be a big baby. She estimates that our little girl is already over 6 lbs, plus or minus 10%!
The doctor said I'm safe to deliver any time now. She's not making any guesses on me delivering early, although I hope I do, since she's so big already!
John has been hard at work getting our nursery ready, painting, cleaning, and washing all the baby clothes we've been given. John has been so awesome at preparing for this baby! We have just about everything we need.
Week 34 Update
Wow! We're already at 34 weeks! It's hard to believe that our little girl will be here in about 6 weeks! The time has flown by. The baby is growing really well. The doctor can't get ultrasound pictures anymore because she is too big, so we won't have any more pictures until she's here. But everything is progressing normally. She is very healthy.
We are busy preparing for her arrival! There's so much to do that sneaks up on us! But hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll have the nursery done and everything will be ready and waiting for her. We appreciate your prayers during our final few weeks of pregnancy!
Week 30 Update
30 weeks down, 10 to go!! Baby Girl Glaser is growing well! The doctor says she has long legs, taking after her daddy. She's very active, kicking Shannon constantly! John loves watching Shannon's belly jump around.
We are looking forward to the last 10 weeks! Please pray for our last trimester, for safety and healthy of both Shannon and Baby! Thanks!
Week 24 Update
We just got back from our Week 24 appointment. Everything looks good with Baby Girl Glaser! There are new photos in the ultrasound photo album.
The doctor took one look at the ultrasound and said it is very clearly a girl. We're excited to have more certainty over the gender!
Everything looks good with the baby. She looks healthy and is moving up a storm. John has started feeling her kick more and more lately. He wasn't sure before if what he felt was a kick before, but now he knows that it was her that he felt! She's a pretty strong kicker (or puncher!)
We were blessed to get a few 3D/4D shots of the baby. In this picture, Baby girl has her arm over her face, but you can see her eyes, nose and mouth. How amazing that we can see her face!
We appreciate your prayers as we get closer to delivery. (I know it's still a long way off (16 more weeks!), but we're past the halfway mark now, so it just seems closer and closer!)
Week 22 Update
Week 22 is now here!! We are halfway through the pregnancy. It's getting exciting with all the changes! Shannon has started showing and gets bigger every week. The baby is kicking up a storm, and John has gotten to feel it once on the outside.
We found out the doctor thinks it's a girl!! We'll hopefully get a better confirmation on our next appointment, but the doctor said at both of the last 2 appointments that she really thinks it's a girl.
The question we've been asked the most is, "Do you have a name picked out yet?" We do, but we're keeping it a secret until Baby Girl arrives!
Our students are so excited and are constantly talking about spoiling the baby. It's fun for us to have them be a part of this exciting time in our lives.
We've put new "belly" pictures in the photo gallery under the "John and Shannon" album. We've also put new ultrasound photos in the "Baby Glaser" album.
Week 17 Update
We are now in Week 17 of the pregnancy. Shannon is doing really well. The morning sickness has been gone for a few weeks, and she has a lot of her energy back.
The baby is growing. At the last appointment, the baby measured just over 11 cm from head to hips. He/She is growing fast!
We don't know yet the gender of the baby. The doctor couldn't give us a good idea at that appointment, but hopefully in January we'll find out.
Shannon loves her doctor. She is very nice and speaks great English. (We're going to a German doctor.) Because it's in the German system, we get ultrasounds every visit. We are getting very spoiled, getting to see so many pictures of our baby growing! We've seen the heartbeat at every ultrasound. The baby is healthy and is growing right on schedule (actually, he/she is measuring a few days ahead!)
