Less than 2 months and counting!

Mark and Mira came with me again this morning to my Week 31 OB appt since my doctor promised us another 3D picture and a DVD at this visit. He took measurements and said that baby boy is a good size! Around this time (~30 weeks) they're usually around 3 lbs or so. My doctor said baby boy Garcia is approx 4 lbs 5 oz! No wonder! I'm constantly in the restroom cuz he sits right on my bladder and there's no space in there! And every morning I wake up sore around my pelvic and pubic bone because he sits so low. My c-section is scheduled for March 31, but I have a feeling I may go into labor earlier cuz I may just run out of space in there for him! The doctor gave us a couple of 3D pictures, but they didn't turn out so good. Baby boy was hiding behind his hand and the cord so it was hard for the doctor to get a good angle. He was moving around a lot during the visit which the doctor said was "messing up his picture." haha. I don't know why baby boy was not in such a good mood today. Doesn't look like he was in such a good mood either, looking at the picture.
Don't know if you can make out his face, but looks like he may get Mark's nose too!
Mira explained to the doctor that when her baby brother comes she will show him how to brush his teeth and eat well. :)
Yesterday was Superbowl and we partied it up at Ray (Mark's cousin's house). After the game, we played Kinect Sports and Dance Central on Xbox. Even though Mira was the only kid there, she enjoyed herself so much she didn't want to leave! When we finally convinced her to leave (around 9pm), she knocked out in the car on the ride home. Mark and I didn't want to wake her to change her so we just put her in her bed. Around 2am she ended up in our bed and around 5am, Mark felt our bed was wet! :( The ONE night she has an accident is the ONE night we didn't change her into her pull-ups! Of course... Murphy's law...

Aside from the one accident, Mira is doing awesome! Still into princesses and sometimes refers to herself in the third person as "Princess": "The Princess is here!" "The Princess is eating!" Mark and I bought her a responsibilities chart that she completes everyday for the weeek. If she completes all her responsibilities for the week, she gets a suprise. We've done this for two weeks now and its working great. For her first suprise, she picked a Princess puzzle and it's kept her occupied EVERY day for the last two weeks! She loves doing puzzles, especially THIS one.
And as she gets older, we add more responsibilities to her chart to make it a little more challenging. :)

Here's Mira with her responsibilities chart:


And her most recent favorite thing, her Princess puzzle:
So, now I'm down to visits to the OB every two weeks, instead of monthly. I may be posting more, depending on how I feel or how my visits go. We're counting down the days and getting ready in the house - re-arranging Mira's room to make room for her baby brother's stuff. And Mira has been great helping me with getting everything ready. She's very excited! :) Since my belly button popped out, it's been Mira's little obssession. She tells all her teachers and classmates how big my belly button is! haha.
