Burl: 3.2kg

Yesterday morning, we all went to the hospital to see Dr. Wang - who's filling in for Dr Fu. At 38 weeks, Burl weighs 3200g. That's up from the last 2 weeks of 2700g. Ivo weighed 3200g at 39 weeks the day he was born. Doctor says he looks good and assuaged my worry of the last 2 days that he wasn't moving enough. He showed me that the cord is far from his neck and his heartbeat and that he's grown so much this week that he hasn't got much room. I guess he'll be a little bigger than Ivo. But NOT TOO BIG. At this point Ivo was "small for date" by 2 weeks...

Also, I think Burl is gonna be born during the day. We won't have to go to the hospital til after breakfast and he'll be born between 2-6pm. I'm still working on my birth-vision.

I tried on 5 different things today. Everything looks awful. I gotta say, getting dressed infront of a mirror was probably a big mistake. It looks like I'm carrying quintuplets. And how can I be too big fr maternity clothes? Plus heartburn - Burl's gotta come soon because I'll get depressed if I can't go outside (clothes) or sleep (heartburn).

Lots of work getting done here. Lot's of genius coming from Ivo's mouth. Yesterday he ate so much - culminating in a late supper of 8 pork dumplings ("dumpings").
