Week 33 Update

Peanut is really growing this week! Measuring about 17 inches long, she weighs around 5lbs. And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound of weight every week.
The bones in her skull are formed, but aren't fused. They actually don't fuse entirely until early adulthood, allowing room for her brain to grow through childhood. Because they aren't fused, the bones in her skull will be able to overlap, helping her to fit through the birth canal during delivery.

I have my first Biweekly Dr's visit this week. I cannot believe that we are getting this close. The belly is really growing. So much so that the belly now gets in the way as a try to slide through doorways. Peanuts movements are everywhere. She has really grown this week. Peanut's new thing is to bounce off my rib cage while pushing off my pelvis.... It is a good time!

Grow baby grow!!!

Week 32 Update-- 8 MONTHS!

This week Peanut is measuring roughly 16.5 inches long, she now weights over 4 pounds! She is sleeping approximately 90 to 95 percent of the day. Most of his wrinkles are disappearing, especially on his face, as more fat is deposited under his skin. Her hair is becoming thicker with each passing week and you may even be able to see it on an ultrasound! She will also begin to settle in the head-down position, as his birth is fast approaching.........

Week 31 Update

Peanut is measuring approximately 16 inches long, she weighs about 4 lbs. 4 whole pounds, wow! And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound every week.
Peanut is moving around quite a bit in there! It's not uncommon for her continuous movements, which may feel like somersaults, to be keeping you up at night. Her arms, legs and body are also filling out as she continues to develop fat underneath her skin, making those kicks and prods feel even stronger than last week. You may even see an arm or a foot move slowly across your belly!

A Girl Needs Shoes!

Are these not the best thing you have ever seen? As most of you know I am not into bows, hearts and lace. BUT a girl no matter what age HAS to have shoes!

7 Month Pic

I thought it would be fun to take the picture in the newly painted nursery! The bassinet is a DeBlois family heirloom. Mike and his siblings all spent some first moments in this bassinet and I am so very excited to have it as an addition to our nursery. I ordered the bassinet cover and it is going to look amazing! If you cannot tell I am super excited about our plan and will be posting pictures as the furniture comes in and we add bits and pieces. :)

Nursery.....the beginning

Green, Green, Green! YIPPEE I LOVE IT
