What's on the inside:
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 him to fit through the birth canal. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
And on the outside:
Still feeling really good; slowing down just a bit, but not much.
Had a good Dr.'s visit this week and my last ultrasound. So the next time we "see" her will be when we "See and hold" her!!! Crazy! She was breech two weeks ago, but she has turned and is now face down and heading south--which is all good and right on time. She's also just over 4lbs, which 'should' make for a 7lb baby on my due date. So everything is going smoothly.
Our birthing classes are going well. Learning lots about the stages of labor, pain meds, breathing, etc. So far it's been good, nothing too earth shattering, but all good to know before the big day I guess. It all still feels a bit surreal...wonder when that goes away (??)
Had another FANTASTIC Shower last weekend. It was given by the wives of Bill's co-workers and my friend Kim and Donna were the hosts. Donna might as well be Martha Stewart as she planned and HAND made so much!! From the drinks, straws, cake, thank you bags, wash clothes, headbands, diaper cake, etc, etc. She also found the most unique, yet FUN games to play. Ones that I've never done at a shower... I was so impressed with EVERYTHING. I really didn't want the shower, but once there, I didn't want it to end! Here are some photo's:
