Thanks for the clarification! I didn’t have my tape measure handy when I was writing about it (I also forgot to think
in terms of crown to rump length vs. total length).

If you leave early enough tomorrow, you can make it to Kmart in time to stock up on more babies!!

Super cute! I’m going tomorrow to see if my kmart has them. My sister in law is 34 weeks tomorrow I bet she’d be
thrilled to see what size her baby is approx. Its so hard to imagine whats in there when you can’t see it. I’ve had 4
and every time shocked that HUGE baby was inside my belly. No matter how big I thought my belly was!

I have some great breastfeeding and babywearing models that had cloth bodies with inflatable inner liners (to feed
them so they can pee???). I cut them open and filled them with rice so that they have a more realistic weight. Mine
weigh 7 lbs now and it is so much easier to teach mommies to manipulate them into new positions for feeding and
wearing. Thank you for sharing this! -Mandy

Just wanted to say that the interloper picture is hysterical. (Also? Bravo on finding such an affordable doll! I’m often
struck by severe sticker shock whenever I check out childbirth ed products. Not that they’re not EVER worth the
money. But still...)

I wanted to say that I found out by goggling that the doll is the size of about a 30 to 31 week baby. I just bought it and
it is about 11 in. crown to rump. I agree with you, it has the perfect curvature for showing baby positioning. I have

I swear I didn’t set the picture up like that! I only noticed the skeptical glances after moving the pic to my computer!

I don’t know if it simply because we’ve said she is the last baby, or, because she is such an awesome baby, or
what, but Alaina makes me want to never not have a baby. Maybe I have a different perspective this time
around because my oldest is now 8, so I can see right in front of me every day how quickly it goes by—or,
maybe I am literally able to enjoy her more completely than I was with the older two. The adjustment to
motherhood with the first was emotionally complicated. The adjustment to having two was easier, but the
juggling of the needs of an infant and an almost-three year old, made some of the days very difficult to cope
with. Life isn’t perfect now and I do get maxed out feeling (talk to me on a day when she doesn’t nap as
