Week 32

A lot was going on this week. We had our first of two baby showers yesterday. My mom hosted a high tea at her house and we had a lot of family friends that attended. It was great! We had delicious finger sandwiches, delectable deserts like scones and of course some herbal tea. Baby received lots of great gifts which we organized in his room today. My parents bought us a fantastic stroller system, and Miles was delighted to see that Papy already put it together. My mom painted a cute mirror and decorated it with a fun monkey theme, she also painted a little bench/toy chest the same blue as the wall and added white dandelions and Ronan's name. Lastly, she hand knit some adorable outfits :) Below are a couple pics of the furniture my mom did.




Tuesday we have our Dr's appt and hopefully baby is still head down. We also finished out birthing classes and both felt like we learned a lot. We have a week off, and then 2 weeks of breast feeding classes.

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 of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
