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.

Behind

Well...apparently I'm really behind on my blog this week.
I guess I've just had to take a break because I've been in Madison and not spent too much time on the computer.

We went to Target on Saturday to register for my baby shower in Green Bay. It was a lot of fun and they had some really cute stuff. Sometimes it is overwhelming looking at all the stuff...but at other times its exciting. We even found a changing table that matched my crib. I love it. I'm so excited!!

I think my belly grew a little last night. According to baby center, week sixteen is the beginning of a big growth spurt. I'll be sixteen weeks on Wednesday, which is very exciting.

I wish that I could find out the gender at my appointment tomorrow, but the doctor said I have to wait for my week twenty ultrasound. Well I plan to schedule it for the day I turn twenty weeks EXACTLY! I just can't wait! I'll be twenty weeks on May 19th! So excited!!!

I am very excited for appointment tomorrow. I've been so nervous lately and I really think that this appointment will help put me at ease. I Just need to hear baby bean's heartbeat again. I just need to feel better!!
