34 Weeks




I hit 34 weeks yesterday! On Thursday I had a doctor appointment, and all continues to look great. Baby is estimated to weigh over 5 pounds and the length measurements continue to be ahead of schedule! If baby keeps gaining weight at the 1/2 to 3/4 pound per week that the books say he/she will, I think we're in for a pretty good sized baby! Definitely something to be thankful for.

We also had a hospital tour on Thursday. The midwife who gave the tour demonstrated some handling of a 2 day old baby, emphasising the fact that babies are not as fragile as some people think they are. I think it especially surprised Paul and reassured him the baby won't break!

Later today I have my baby shower! This is something that is not usually done here (no wedding showers either), but my friend Jean was very thoughtful to embrace my American traditions and throw a shower for me!
