i really can't believe i am at week 34. time is flying by, but we still have lots to do. time to start preparing for her arrival! some things on the to-do-list are:
1) learn how to use the car seat
2) pack a bag for the hospital
3) finish the baby room, a few touch up spots remain
4) make sure the baby room is filled with everyting we need
5) try not to freak out
amy and i are really looking forward to the shower this sunday. to have our family and friends all in one room is going to be awesome! some start to arrive today and most will be here by tomorrow. i hope i have enough energy to entertain and keep up with everyone this weekend though.
we have our last childbirthing class next tuesday too. still not sure if the 1980's videos have made us feel any better. but it has been fun to talk with others in the class. from listening to all of the questions they have been asking (some are quite funny and strange), it seems like they are just as nervous as we are. next week we get to take a tour of the hospital. they also had a "meet the doctors" session last week for us to meet all of the doctors in our practice. this is just in case our own doctor is not on call or will not be able to deliver little girl. they all seem to be on the same page, so we feel comfortable with whatever happens. funny though, of the 8 doctors there, ours is the youngest and she is the only one that hasn't had any kids.
Your Baby in Week 34 of Pregnancy
What's new this week? Your baby is clocking in at five pounds and could be as tall as 20 inches by now, and the vernix (the white coating protecting your baby’s skin) is getting thicker. In other baby-related developments, those tiny fingernails have probably reached the tips of his fingers by now — and getting ready for that first postpartum manicure.
