I cannot believe I am 36 weeks pregnant today!
That means NINE months pregnant.
I swear we just found out yesterday that Hollis was going to join our family…
where HAS the time gone?!
This week I have been feeling a lot of pressure… sometimes to the point where I can’t even stand up or walk because it hurts so bad.
On Tuesday, Dr. Keeton checked me and told me I was 1 cm dilated with my cerclage in.
She said we would recheck on Friday and see if it needs to come out then or next week.
(sorry for the bad pics… the were all taken on my phone)
{35 weeks 3 days}
Harper MAY be warming up to the idea of Hollis…
just a teeny bit.
She has been playing baby a lot lately and she has finally agreed that I can nurse Hollis!
(Harper is strangely possessive of my “nursery nees” even though she has not nursed in 16 months…)
{35 weeks 3 days}
Everyone that knew me when I was pregnant with Cliff and Harper cannot believe how big my belly is this time around!
Seriously, it is HUGE for me!
{35 weeks 4 days}
This week Hollis passed the BPP with flying colors!
YAY!
{35 weeks 3 days}
And she also passed the NST!
I am so proud of her “good” behavior this week!
{35 weeks 6 days}
Dr. Keeton checked me again today and I am still 1 cm dilated and there was no change since Tuesday!
So, the cerclage will stay in until next week!
YAY!
{35 weeks 6 days}
This week Hollis would not let us see her face…
surprise, surprise…
but we were able to see other things:
(sorry these are are horrible quality… I forgot my DVD this week and so I took phone pictures of the ultrasound pictures…)
Here is Hollis’s ear!
{35 weeks 3 days}
And her foot!
She really liked showing off her feet… So here is another foot picture:
Hollis’s hair seems to have grown even longer!
Yay for bows!
{35 weeks 3 days}
We were able to see her adorable profile in 2D this week!
{35 weeks 3 days}
Here are Hollis’s STATS at 35 weeks 3 days:
Weight: about 6 pounds
Tummy: measured 35 weeks (46%)
Head: measured 37 weeks (95.3%)
Leg: measured 35 weeks 4 days (41.4%)
Her overall size in the 66% and measuring 36 weeks.
We are so thankful that Hollis is doing so well!
Ross and I are praying that she will stay put for a few more weeks!
I can’t wait to meet her, but I know that the longer she stays in my belly, the better!
Thank you all for your prayers and support throughout this pregnancy!








































AWWW How exciting! You make pregnant look AMAZING. Hope your having a great weekend and hanging in there. xoxo
This is so exciting to have watched Hollis grow and Cliff to soar.
Praying for you guys and your sweet new baby.
Natalie you are so cute! Love the photos. You don’t look huge to me (but then my biggest baby was a 10lb-er!). So glad Hollis is doing so well. Lets hope she keeps up the ‘good work’.
