33 Weeks

I had my final every-two-week Dr. visits this week. My next visit will begin my once a week appointments and that kinda freaks me out. It means that we are getting down to the final weeks! If baby girl decides to come at 34 weeks they will not do anything to stop her…that my friends [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 33

How your baby’s growing:
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. She’s rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her skull aren’t fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for [...]

Baby Shower

 My mom threw my baby shower this past Saturday (Sept. 19). She did a great job of planning, decorating, making food and setting up. It looked so cute.
 
 
My aunt Donna and Grandma (Mawnee) made all the bumble bee gifts. They were light bulbs painted like a bee. Very creative.
 
 
 
They also made the diaper cake and bouquet [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 32

How your baby’s growing:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she’ll gain a third to half [...]

Another Nursery Update

 It’s definitely coming along as Seth put up the crib last Monday and the dresser went up yesterday.
 It’s so crazy to walk by that room everyday and see a crib sitting there. I must admit, I don’t feel prepared at all seeing how I don’t have a lot of necessities, but I do have my baby [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 31

How your baby’s growing:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her [...]

30 Weeks

How far along? 30 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 21 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes. I’m starting to dislike Old Navy’s full panel pants. They just hit in all the wrong places.
Sleep: Still pretty good.
Best moment this week: Seth put the crib together, the rocker got covered, the new desk is in place, and the dresser/changing table [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 30

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby’s about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it’s [...]
