If you look closely at the last one, you can make out what toys made the cut today: Brian's old teddy bear (Kaylynn calls it a monkey), a little chihuahua dog (that Kaylynn named "Puppy"), her alligator pull toy, a rubber duck, her new My Little Pony, an orange water glass (Kaylynn orange wa-wa), and her Little People car. She's crazy.
and here's what's up with Ben. 6 weeks til the due date. I'm feeling better about the whole lesson plan situation. In a perfect world, I'd have it all sorted out this week. But it's not a perfect world and I probably won't have it all sorted out this week. Brian's building some shelves for his room this weekend. I've ordered bottle nipples and my new ginormous diaper bag (it's dark gray and from etsy, I'm pretty excited about it.) Thought about buying some diapers, but I'm holding off until the 35 week ultrasound to see how big he is (do I only need 1 newborn size pack or more). With the exception of thoroughly cleaning the house, we're as ready as we'll ever be.
Imagine a picture of a cantaloupe here. I don't have the patience for this computer anymore. Let's hope the Mac fairy visits me this Christmas.
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his 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.
