Amy's Election Baby now football-sized

Baby Watch 002s.jpg
By: Amy Troy

When you're expecting, you'll hear this comparison. At seven months into your pregnancy your baby is, statistically, the size of a football. Well, we've hit that mark. Seven months along. (Yep, the suit coats are getting snug - and some of the camera shots are even snugger.)

So I pulled a football out of our basement - just to get a feel for the size of our unborn daughter. It's mind-boggling how fast they grow and develop.

Just a few months ago she was, again statistically speaking, the size of an olive. My husband, Damien, and I are experiencing what other first-time parents have already shared - sheer giddiness as that magical "birthday" nears.

Our baby girl is due on Election Day. Presidential elections are always memorable, but for this first-time Mom, this one is shaping up to be extraordinary.

Amy, Nothing you do in your life will come close to this.
She will be the last thing you think of when you close your eyes and
the first thing you think of when you open them.


Good Luck and much happiness

Amy,

Congratulations,

It's kinda funny that I just found out that you are pregnant as I was thinking a few days ago, since you have been filling in more in the times that I watch the news, that you looked different somehow!! and now I know why.

Your precious daughter will be the joy of your life. Treasure every moment of your pregnancy and take lots of pictures so you can show her later what she looked like in your tummy! Best wishes to you and your husband. I so enjoy you on the news.
