32 weeks and counting!

This picture was taken at 31 weeks

So, here we are at week 32 and we are getting very anxious to meet our little girl. I have been a lot more uncomfortable lately and the size of my belly continues to grow! We had our first doctor's appointment at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul on Friday. That is the hospital where we plan to deliver, and it was actually kind of exciting to go there and get familiar. We met our doctor, Dr. Kim, and are very thankful that he speaks English. We were told by some experienced friends to make some demands known upfront, such as: request that Russell can be in the room during delivery (otherwise they won't- Korean men aren't usually in the room, although it's getting more popular), a private room (Korean women give birth in a room with up to 3 or 4 other women beside them, also giving birth), and last to nurse the baby (otherwise they will whisk the baby away and start her on formula because Korean women tend not to produce breastmilk as readily for some reason, maybe it's their diet).

We have a couple other requests to make, and our next appointment is Friday, March 19, so we'll be making them then. Some cool news is that the baby is healthy, according to Dr. Kim, and weighs 4lbs! That'sa one big baby! She's in the normal range, but bigger than average. We're thinkin 8lbs at birth, any other guesses? Also, since we're doing a guessing game- when do you think she'll be born? Our due date is May 9th, but she's big- and my mom and sister both had babies at least a week early (moms were all 2 and more weeks early!). Whaddaya think? Leave a comment to guess!
