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.

Starting my blog!

Well after some thought, I decided to give this a shot! I have wanted to start a pregnancy blog for a little while now. I think it will help me remember everything that I am going through. It will help me keep all my thoughts straight and MAYBE, just maybe, help me keep some of my emotions in check.

Its difficult right now because its been 3 weeks (officially today) since we've seen our little one on the ultrasound. I can't wait to see it again, however until that time, I need to find some ways to relax and not worry so much about what is happening inside of me.

As of now, I'm thinking this blog will be just for me, but if you come across it, or I share it with you, I hope you can enjoy reading about one of the craziest times in my life!
