Baby Elliot Update

I have been shamefully short on maternity photos this go around.  Elliot, if you are reading this years from now--it's not because we're not excited about you--merely because we've had our hands full!



Anyways, Daniel took these sweet photos the other day.



Lucy thought my bare-skinned tummy was hilarious, which made for some cute pictures.



I saw my midwife Dinah a couple days ago, and Elliot seems to be doing well, getting bigger and bigger.  He probably weighs about 4 pounds and is about 17 inches long.  He's been breech (head up) so far, but Dinah turned him, so now he's head down, which is better.  He may still move around some, and technically it doesn't really matter that he's been breech because he's not due for another 6 weeks, but I feel better that he's situated the way he needs to be for birth.



We're planning a home birth again, like we did for Lucy.  This time Dinah will not be traveling in France, so she should be there at the birth!  That is super exciting.  Last time, we had a back-up, back-up midwife due to a miscommunication, and it was a really sweet lady named Amanda whom I'd never met before.  She was a trooper for coming to our house at 3 AM to help me birth Lucy -- and it all worked out fine -- but I'm excited to have Dinah with us this time. 



Elliot, we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
