Last weekend we found a beautiful crib that will be delivered in the next several weeks from Italy! Also, Kevin picked out an adorable bedding set at Babies "R" Us - it has racoons, foxes, blue birds, black bears and owls on it and the colors are sage and tans. The baby's room got painted this past Monday and we'll just need to go to IKEA for some lamps, a rug and maybe 2 small book shelves!
It is all coming together and my wonderful friends are coming over to help me fold baby clothing and get all the little details situated this weekend. A few months back, Cathy was able to bless us with so much boy clothing from a co-worker of hers - the only thing we're short on is 12-18 months and then beyond!!! But we won't need those for quite some time! Kevin said last night that he thinks the little guy will have a different onesie each day for his first 6 months in the world!
Some exciting news:
1. According to the midwife yesterday, I am right on target...belly is measuring 34 cm and I am in week 35. We listened to the heartbeat and he had just been moving around a lot - so at first it was in the 150's then he slowed down movement and it fell into the 130's (right where it should be). We found a pediatrician who came highly recommended through our birthing class and all the other little things like social security card, health insurance, etc. will be coming together later on.
2. My brother, Nathan, will be coming to visit for most of the month of July - I haven't seen him since last Christmas and he's yet to see our house or my big growing belly. We are VERY excited to see him and spend some time with him before the baby comes (and maybe after :).
3. Heather is getting 2 visitors in Cambodia from Mount Paran North this week - they are going on a short term trip to see her and fellowship with her! Have fun Bernadette and Jessica - and give my sister a huge hug and kiss for me!!!
4. Kevin's office is throwing us an office-wide shower on 7/14 - it will be so nice to see everyone in his office and celebrate this little life together...
Baby's development this week:
This week the final touches are being added to your mini-masterpiece and most of his development is going to packing on the pounds. While baby's movements may be becoming less jerky, he may do his final somersault in the womb soon—to put himself into the head-down position for birth. Other fascinating facts:
Your little Karate Kid can't quite pack the punch he used to due to the limited space inside the womb these days (not true for Skelly Jr.!). You're likely to feel more wiggles, stretches and rolls than kicks and jabs. The extra layer of fat your baby is adding will create those cute dimples on your baby's elbows and knees. His liver has begun processing his waste products, so you know which organ to thank when he has his first blowout up the back of his onesie.
Baby's nails are growing so long they may curl over the tips of his tiny fingers and toes before he sees a pair of clippers. He'll be in serious need of a mani-pedi once he's born (as will you).
Your baby is now about 5½ pounds and over 18 inches long—about the size of one of those price-club sheet cakes.
