Our Dear Family and Friends, Welcome to our website for Baby Lui! Since many of our family and friends live so far away and are unable to share in this amazing experience with us, we decided to follow in the footsteps of a close friend and keep a website to keep you updated on the progress of our little one! We are both very excited and look forward to sharing the next 9 months until the arrival of our bundle of joy in May! All our Love, Maile and Larry

Phew, small belly but perfect baby!
Well, all I can say is that fundal height (that measures from pubic bone to top of uterus) is just crap! At the ultrasound this morning they were able to estimate how many weeks/days Emma is by measuring her femur length, circumference of her belly, and circumference of her head. My little darling measured at 31 weeks, 6 days, which is EXACTLY what I am today. They estimate her weight at 4 to 4.5 pounds right now. Surprisingly enough, though, she was NOT sideways like she has been most of my pregnancy but she has turned head down. She is in an awkward funky cat position. Her head is down on the lower left side of my belly, her spine/back is on the right side of my belly button, and her feet/legs are on the left side of my belly button near her head. Unless of course she decides to stretch out and then her big ol feet are kicking me right under my boobs. In addition, my amniotic fluid levels were well within normal range, so there is nothing to worry about. I am soooooo relieved that my tummy is just small but I am not carrying a malnourished dwarf child, nor was I mistaken to think that I was peeing gallons when it was really amniotic fluid. I am glad to have received all this good news before my shower this weekend, so I can enjoy celebrating the upcoming arrival of my little bean with my closest friends! Speaking of which, I need to clean up this house and get off this dang computer now!
