34 Weeks and Counting!

We can't believe there are now less than 6 weeks to go! Although, we are both convinced Grant will make an early appearance--just a hunch, I guess. Maybe that's bad to be thinking, and he will end up being really late. I will technically be full term at 37 weeks, which is only 19 days from now, so anytime after that will be fine. We are ready for him whenever! We actually started packing our hospital bags this week, and they are stored in our front closet for whenever we need to grab them and go. We had so much fun packing a few little outfits and other things for Grant knowing the next time we see them out of the bag, he will be here to use them! We've actually created a baby pool for you to make your guesses as to when he will arrive, how much he will weigh, etc. Click on the link on the left to play!

We also had our 34-week appointment. Everything is still great, and the baby is still low and head down. They measure my uterine growth every visit, and as I've said before, it's usually a centimeter for every week that you are. But I actually measured between 35-36 centimeters this time. (Two weeks ago, at 32 weeks, I was 32 cm.) The doctor said this could mean I may go early, or it really could mean nothing. I could have just had a lot of growth these last 2 weeks and it may even out by the next measuring. He said it's all really subjective, so they don't rely too heavily on the measurings. We will see where we are in 2 weeks when we go back!

We have a fun week ahead. I have another shower tomorrow thrown by a group of my parents' friends and their daughters that I grew up with, and I have a shower at work on Tuesday. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such love and support, and it is so nice of everyone to spoil our little guy!

You created a baby pool? When can Clara go swimming?
