35 Week Old Jack has two teeth coming in and more on the way. This has most likely been causing him pain and that has kept him up at night. This, of course, has kept Kerry and Dan up at night as well. Things also weren't helped yesterday when they kept Jack out too late and he had a meltdown. With Jack safely asleep, Kerry and Dan discuss where things went wrong and some of the lessons they have learned. Also, Jack makes a "yummy" sound every time he has a bite of food; does he really find everything yummy?

Not only is 28 Week Old Jack crawling; he's trying to kneel and stand too. That has led to some pretty good falls, especially on his head! He's doing fine though, enjoying his space to roam whether it's the carpets in his grandparents' house or the playpen at home. Dan and Kerry are dragging a bit because Jack's having trouble falling (and staying) asleep. Brand new gates have been installed; Dan talks about what kind they got. And Kerry explains why citrus fruit may not be a good idea to feed Jack right now.

Meanwhile, Kerry never believed she'd be able to fill a 6 ounce bottle with pumped breast milk, but things have certainly turned around!

Now that he's 3 weeks old, Jack has plumped up to nearly 12 pounds and he's eating enough for the average 3 month old. His pees are regular, his poops have become stinkier - and how! - but his parents couldn't be prouder.
Kerry shares her continuing battles with breastfeeding; she's certain that her little son sees her as nothing more than a milk wagon at this point. Meanwhile, Dan was able to work at home this past week - which was great - but will be going back to a regular schedule this week. Also, like many new parents, Kerry and Dan had to deal with another important part of a newborn's life: selecting his godparents.

Jack is 2 weeks old and Kerry and Dan are beginning to get used to all this feeding and pooping business. The breastfeeding battle continues, but it's quite obvious by Jack's expanding face and tummy that he's eating enough to get by. So now that baby is home and they've had a chance to breathe, what do Kerry and Dan see around their house? Between the hospital paperwork, the milk bottles, the baby clothes, and dozens of receiving blankets, there's plenty of stuff to be found.

Jack is here!
It's been 39 weeks, just about a true full term, and our baby boy has finally arrived!
Here on the final pregnancy episode of Baby Time, join Kerry and Dan as they bring you the sounds of labor and delivery - from Dan's late night thoughts on the 17th as he waited to bring his wife to the hospital, to the hours of waiting on the 18th for something to happen, right up to the thrilling, life-changing first appearance of Jack in the delivery room.
Final Baby Size: 8 pounds, 14 ounces.
Coming Soon: Kerry and Dan will return as Baby Time details their experiences with their new member of the show, Jack!

When will it truly be Baby Time, you ask? Perhaps tomorrow!
Yes, it's only Week 38, but given the size of the already big baby and Kerry's continual blood pressure concerns, the time may be right for Jack to arrive. That means the doctor may induce Kerry when she and Dan visit the hospital once again, so when they return home, they may be parents! In the meantime, Dan has been stressing over the final chores, but the truth is that the house is ready. Are Kerry and Dan?
Baby Size Update: over 20 inches long, weighing over 8 pounds.
According to BabyCenter, the average baby is 19 to 20 inches long and about 7 pounds.

As Week 37 arrives, we are blessed to know that Kerry's pregnancy has officially reached full term, meaning that if born today, baby Jack would have a great chance at making it on his own.
However, there was concern this week as Kerry's blood pressure began to increase. Three separate visits to the hospital were necessary, and officials were concerned about the risks of preeclampsia, but luckily, Kerry and Jack are both in excellent health.
It is with a heavy heart that we podcast tonight. Just when a pregnancy is nearing its critical conclusion, you hope to keep the mother-to-be as calm as can be. However... After a long illness, Kerry's father Warren passed away today. The entire family was already together watching over him. Tonight, we know he is watching over us.
Rest in peace, Dad.

Also this week, an added surprise: Dan was able to record the long-awaited Daddy Roundtable! Look for two bonus Baby Time episodes this week with lots of great discussion and a lot of laughs.

Here's Part 2 of the Birth Class Recap show. Damn, you try cramming 10 hours of intense learning into one show!

During the weekend of Week 34, Kerry and Dan found themselves in the hospital - not to give birth, but to learn about the birthing process.
Birth Class - something all first-timers should experience before giving birth - took place over an intensive two-day weekend schedule. It exposed the first-time parents to such wonderful topics as C-sections, medication, breathing exercises, hospital policies, how many people you'll find in the delivery room, how long labor might take, what a labor headache feels like, and much much more. Listen to the show and get the lowdown.

It's Week 33 and Dan and Kerry wrap up their busy week and weekend by recording this week's show while resting in bed. We recap Kerry's battle with swelling, back pain, constant thirst, and impatience. Dan continues to find himself sleeping in the guest room half the time, and while his stage show has finished its run, that doesn't mean their weekends will be free now. Also, finding shoes and socks that Kerry will be comfortable in for the remainder of the pregnancy remains an important task.

Kerry's problems with swelling in her feet and ankles really hit in Week 32, now that the baby is bigger and kicking more than ever. She's trying to deal with it as best as she can, but it would be nice to find socks, shoes, and some other clothes to get her through the rest of the pregnancy. Meanwhile, Dan has found himself sleeping in the guest room or on the couch more often because of Kerry's snoring. And that's the last time he'll mention it to her. :)

Kerry and Dan unexpectedly found themselves at the doctor's office during Week 24. It's the sort of thing that will happen to all first-time parents, but in the end, everything is just fine.
Also on this week's agenda: responding to some of the feedback/advice from listeners, Kerry deals with back aches, checking out hand-me-downs from family members, and picking up new books to read to the baby.
An added bonus this week: the doctor's visit yielded a couple new ultrasound pics, as well as the first glimpse of the baby boy's "equipment," a topic discussed at the end of this week's show.

Meanwhile, furniture shopping continues and budgeting for the baby has been an ongoing issue. However, the good news from Dan is that everything looks pretty good from the financial standpoint for the new parents.

P.S. Dan mentioned on the show the voice mail comment line (206-BABY-105) was "free." We should say it's free for us. If you'd like to call, we recommend using up those cell phone minutes. Most cell phones offer free long distance, so it shouldn't cost you anything extra! :)

For many members of our family, Week 15 brought the first chance for them to see Dan and Kerry in over 20 years. It was also their introduction to the baby on the way in Kerry's tummy.

In other news, Kerry's sense of smell has gone into overdrive around stinky bathrooms, and the book collection - for the parents and the baby - has begun to grow.
