Baby Girl
Upon hearing the heartbeat for the first time...
"Then (the doctor) slid the monitor to a different part of my belly, and there it was, in the room with me, my baby's blessed assurance: 'I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.'
I shut my eyes in gratitude and sank into the sound, letting the heartbeats rock me like a mother's arms."

At 29 weeks you are:
*Finally named something other than Singletonette.
*Big for your age at 3 lbs. 2 oz. (are you our child?)
*The reason we go through a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream every three days
*A night owl through and through
*In breech position, with your favorite thing to kick being my bladder
*The talk of 90% of your sisters' conversations
*Making me this big!

Oh thank you for the picture, Les! You are so beautiful! Singtonette is beautiful too! yeah 29 weeks!
Leslie, you look so great. And I am with you on the not understanding how the second pregnancy brings a larger child. Harrison was two pounds bigger than Gwen! I almost died when they told me his weight. And considering that the girls were so tiny, this little bundle of joy will be quite a surprise for everyone to see and hold.
I too ate mint ice cream like you wouldn't believe, and junior mints, and pretty much everything else you can imagine.
I crack up every time the your girls tell me about your baby in the tummy, and how it is getting bigger. They are so funny. I am really excited to meet this new singleton...who you apparently have a name for already.
Hi Leslie,
It's so nice to "see" your new baby girl. I absolutely loved your use of the quote from "Belong to Me"! Did you love that book? Have you read "Love Walked In"? Amy and I read them in the wrong order and it took us while to realize that "Belong to Me" was the continuation of "Love Walked In". Now I want to read "Belong to Me" again.
Enjoy this time before #3 arrives. I recently heard that you're not a parent until you're outnumbered!
Love, Linda
Okay, so I guess you are due like 6 days before me... I'll race you to see who can have their baby first... jk, I'm sure you'd win. dang.
So are you not revealing her name yet or what? How are all of you doing? Let us all know when you are going to be in town again so we can get tigether.
Looking very good, Leslie. Hang in there.

You are such a cute preggo mamma! And you've made it past the 20's and are well into the 30's weeks, WAY TO GO! Isn't is crazy? Do you feel almost guilty that things are going so normally? I can't wait to meet this sweet new little one (even if it is just through the blog, for now...). Congrats on making it to 31 weeks, what an accomplishment! May you need to be induced too. :)
