The Final Stretches

Poor Rachel did a face-plant down the last few stairs this morning before we headed off to church. This picture is right after she fell and she's showing me that she's as "tough as a rhino." She's got a pretty good bruise forming on her nose, but she really didn't cry that much for as much as we're sure it hurt. She really is a tough as a rhino!

We had a pretty low-key week this week. We're mostly just gearing up for a couple of final stretches. Justin has started getting ready for finals and has officially registered for summer and fall classes. And, this week will mark the full-term mark for Bridget's pregnancy! When Bridget went to the doctor this week she was dilated to a one. While that might not be that exciting for all of the super-moms out there, since she was never dilated with Rachel until the day before she was induced, it has been really exciting to us. We've been washing baby clothes and getting things more organized around the house in preparation for the big day.

So, now is the time to make some due-date and weight/length predictions for the baby. Just add your guesses with comment link below and we'll see who gets the closest. Who knows, the most accurate might get the honor of helping figure out a name (okay, probably not, but you need a little incentive to give us your predictions- right?).

Parker is officially giving Bridget nightmares with that prediction. And, does the circumference prediction from Rob mean that our baby is going to be really fat or just have a humongous head? Either way is pretty scary!
