I write this from our new, comfy glider, watching the Today show on TV and the beautiful snow fall outside our windows. It is not only beautiful because it has painted our yard a lovely white, but also because it cancelled school today. Yessssss. Someday, I will learn to update more often so my posts aren't so long. Until then...I am now about 8 months pregnant. I am beginning to feel about 8 months pregnant, but, really, cannot complain much. I love being pregnant, but am very, very ready to meet and hold this baby girl! Here is what babycenter.com says about babies at 34 weeks:
"Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies."
32 weeks
um, wow. 34 weeks. seriously serious?
My mom came to visit us this past weekend. It was SO good to have her here! We did a lot of shopping and running around, and she even got to come to school with me for a day and a half. I am sure that is exactly what a 4th grade teacher wanted to do on her vacation...come to 4th grade. My kids loved her, and several people at school asked if she was my sister. One of the main reasons she came was to go with me to my school shower. (Kev's parents came over for the shower, too!) The shower was great and we are so thankful for all the gifts we received! It meant so much to me that my mom made a special trip to Nashville for us and the shower. Next time I see her, I will most likely be introducing her to her 3rd granddaughter! Mama, I miss you already!
