Thanks to everyone who came to the first ever Anna & Raven Aquarion Water Company Trick or Treat Day at SportsCenter Connecticut! The kids had a great time getting candy, their faces painted, and all the other activities that day 🎃
The excitement has set in. Week 38 has somehow creeped up on me. I remember early in my pregnancy thinking that if I could just make it to November it would be smooth sailing. October is notoriously the busiest month for me both work wise and at home with my family obligations. I can finally say that unless we have any surprises this baby will be here next week. Next week! I have all the emotions of excitement, fear, doubt, and everything that goes along with it. I looked at my husband a couple days ago and said “Are we really doing this?”. He, of course, reminded me that it’s way too late to have that conversation. I just can’t wait to see her face, smell her baby smell, hold her in my arms. I imagine her looking exactly like my daughter Hayden but I wonder what her personality will be like. Will she be serious and super smart like my husband? Will she be a nut case and spontaneous like me? I hope she will have her sister’s kind heart and ability to make friends easily. I also have irrational fears like walking down the hall at work and having a baby in the hallway. Dr. Coca at Stamford Health has assured me that this baby won’t just happen to fall out, so I’m holding her to that! The funny part is that my daughter Hayden was induced (I swear she would still be in there if we didn’t evict her) so I have no idea what it’s like to go into labor on my own. Every pain I feel I question whether it’s just false labor, gas, or the baby kicking. My mom swears that “I’ll just know” when it’s the real thing, but I’ll avoid burritos until after I deliver. Just in case.

Anna’s Bump Update Powered by Stamford Hospital
October 29, 2018
This week will be week 37 of my pregnancy! I can’t believe I’m typing those words. It’s finally the home stretch! I’m always jealous of the women who feel great and look beautiful throughout their entire pregnancy. All the power to them, but that’s not me. I can’t remember what my feet not swollen look like, sleeping is difficult because I need my husband to roll me over, and it takes a village to help me out of bed. I see celebrities posting all these glamorous pregnancy pics of themselves (I’m looking at you Jessica Simpson) and I break a sweat putting on my pregnancy Spanx. I’m thankful I’m on the radio so most days I can get away with wearing sweatpants and one of my husband’s oversized t-shirts to work. But you know what made it all seem okay? I had an ultrasound growth scan at Stamford Hospital and the technician exclaimed “Look at those cheeks!” and she shared a pic of my baby’s face. It was breathtaking. She has the same cheeks and nose as my daughter Hayden. I immediately got tears in my eyes. I love that the technology has progressed so much that I now have this beautiful ultrasound photo to cherish forever. I can’t wait to meet her and now I’m closer than ever.
