Week 34

This past weekend we were totally blessed! God used our family and friends to shower us with amazing gifts for our sweet little one.. and we truly were blown away! Thank you so much to everyone that has given their love, support and gifts... you have no idea how much it means!

6 more weeks!!! Wow that really makes me so excited. Now that we are all set up from our showers, it is only a matter of getting the little man here! I am feeling more and more uncomfortable with my extra large belly and really just wander every day how I can grow more for these next 42 days ha! Griffin is still a mover and shaker. Sometimes I have to stop what I am doing because he is causing so much rucus in my stomach :)

Gotta run.. plenty of gifts to put away, laundry to do and thank you's to write!!!

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which he'll need to regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his 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.
