Hello everyone!
We are on week 35 now... I measured my belly all the way around and I am 47inches (119.5cm) and my dad measured his belly yesterday and he was only 43inches (109cm)! I'm bigger around than my dad! I think that my weight is right about what it was when I was pregnant with Maya.
Maya is saying so many things these days! The other morning she had taken her socks off and I asked her why she did that. Her response was to SHRUG HER SHOULDERS and say "I don't know!" She had never said that before. Aki and I just laughed! She also has learned how to say "I wan suppin eat" which is another new one. She is not able to communicate using just one language. She has to use Finnish and English. We really try to talk to her ONLY in Finnish and she understands everything that we say to her. But I have noticed that she is saying more in English. I guess that is understandable since she does go to daycare and everyone there speaks English... and the daycare lady speaks Albanian! So let's see how many languages the child will learn!
Maya is very good at taking care of her baby dolls. She changes their diapers and of course "baby poop" and she needs to change "tinky butt!" I think she will be a big help once our little man arrives! I'm having some braxton hicks (practice) contractions..more than I ever had with Maya, so let's see when he will get here!
In addition to baby-waiting, we are moving this month from this place we have lived for 18 months to a larger place! Timing isn't the greatest, but you got to do what you got to do! We are excited about moving into a larger place and Aki will get a 1 car garage! Aki will have to do most of the moving because my back won't like any sort of lifting!
Heips!
Ollan raskaus viikolla 35 jo!! Enaa 4.5 viikooa ennen laskettu aikaa! Mittasin mahani ymparymitan ja olin 119.5cm.. Pertti Pappa mittasi Floridassa ja han oli vaan 109cm. Kuulema on laihtunut vahan!!! Ja mulla isompi maha kun mun isalla!
Paino on aika lailla samalla kun Mayan kanssa.
Maya puhuu niin plajon nytten. Han viela joutuu kayttamaan molemmat kielet etta han pystyy kommunikoimaan. Huomaan etta nyt Maya on kayttanyt enemman englanninkielisia sanoja mutta on se ymmarrettava kun neiti kay hoidossa ja siela lapset puhuu enkkua. Akin kanssa puhutaan kotona suomea vaan (tai ainakin yritettaan! Akin englanninkielen taito on nyt niin hyva etta hankin joskun vaan englanniksi puhuu). Mayan hoitotati on albanialainen ja han puhuu myos albaniaa lapsille soilloin talloin. Katsotaan montako kielta meidan neiti puhuu!
Kovasti odotettaan "pikku Akin" tuloa. Maya ahkerasti hoitaa nukkeja. Ja vaihtaa vaippoja ja syottaa jne. Luulen etta Maya on varmaan iso apu kun tama vauveli tulee!
Minulla on ollut muutama supistus silloin talloin...katsotaan milloin ukko sielta tulee!
Vauvan odotuksen lisaksi me muutetaan tassa kuussa tasta asunnosta toiseen isompaan asuntoon! Eli tekemista riittaa! Aki joutuu varmaan eniten hoitamaan muuttoa kun mina en voi nostella niin paljon. Mutta kylla on ihana paasta vahan isompaan kamppaan ja myos Aki saa yhden auton autotallin!
Here are some ultrasound pictures of our little man! Great profile shot! I think he may have Aki's nose. His estimated weight today is 6 lb(+- 14oz) and we still have 4 weeks to go!! I think he will be the size of a baby moose! His head is down. Otherwise all is well.
He's still a boy! Poika viela tulossa!
