Week 35......5 weeks to go!

Only 5 weeks to go!  The countdown really begins.  This week LBR is the size of a honeydew melon.  He is 5 1/4 pounds.  His physical development is now complete.  His job from here on out is to gain weight.....wonderful :)  Not much new to report here.  Still just hanging in here!

In just 4 weeks time......

Here are the pictures promised.  Lets compare week 30 to week 34.  I think it is official.  I am huge!!!!!  :)

                                       Week 30                                             

Week 34

Week 34

We are at week 34.  I am not officially full term, but they say that the baby would not have many complications at all after this point.  A little scary to think that he could really come at any time!

This week LBR weighs in at 4 3/4 pounds.  He is the size of a cantaloupe.

Matt and I went to birthing class on Sunday.  I already knew a lot of what they were talking about (Matt pretty much knew all of it).  It was just a little slow.  We did get a tour of the hospital and found out where to check me in and what not.  We also go to see the birthing rooms and the recovery rooms.  It all seemed good.  We are pre-registered and ready to go when the time comes!

Alison requested new belly pictures for the week. I will work on that tonight and try to post some.

33 Weeks......7 more to go!

LBR had a very exciting weekend.  He had his baby shower!!!!  It was beautiful and so much fun.  I would like to thank everyone who contributed, attended, brought gifts, ect.!  Thank you thank you.  I will post pictures once I steal them from various people.

This week we are back to fruit.  He is the "heft" of a pineapple.  He has now crossed over the 4 pound mark and is 18 inches long.  From now on he will most likely not grow tons longer but he will get a lot heavier.

Not much else going on that is interesting in my belly.  I think he will start slowing down a lot and getting more and more crowded.

Last week the Dr. said that everything looked great.  We are 100% on track.  She did mention we might end up moving up the due date.....we will see about that.  He needs to stay right on in there for a little longer!

32 Weeks

LBR weighs almost 4 pounds this week.  This is pretty much right around what the dr. told us he weighed on Friday.  He is a large jicama this week (not just a small one).

I am gaining a pound a week from here on out.  Roughly half of that pound is going straight to baby.......wonder what happens to the other half a pound :)

Not much new to report.  Going to the dr. tomorrow for just a check up.  Matt and I bought a video camera and signed up for birthing classes.  I think that means we are getting ready!
