35 Weeks

HOW BIG IS MY BABY? Baby Boy is about 5.5 pounds and about 20.25 inches

WHAT CHANGES ARE OCCURRING IN MY BABY? The baby's lungs are the last organs to mature. Baby has a keen sense of taste and has tasted all the flavors of my food in the amniotic fluid. If I eat garlic my fluid will taste like garlic... Note to self no strong smelling food the last weeks of pregnancy...just in case my water breaks I would prefer it to smell like cinnamon buns not garlic.

HOW BIG AM I? Sound be measuring about 35cm. Around 6 inches above my belly button.

HOW AM I FEELING? A little stressed. Baby shower is this weekend (I'll be 36 weeks/ 9 months), I haven't packed the hospital bag, house needs to be cleaned... and I need a nap!

HOW IS MY HUBBY FEELING? I think he is getting a little nervous. Like me! He snuggled my belly while he was sleeping one night this week, it was kinda funny, Daxton would kick and Derrick would move a little. It was really cute!

QUESTIONS FOR MY DR?
none

THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK: Baby shower, clean house, pack bags, and take a nap!!! lol

SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WEEK: My precious son. I can't wait to meet you. You are so loved and you haven't even arrived yet!

One of my Sunday School teachers passed away this week, my heart was broken. With everything else going on I got my days mixed up and missed her funeral. I was so upset over that. On Sunday my mom got a call from L.D., Martha's husband, telling her there was a gift at his house for Baby Jones, did she know who it was for? Of course mom said it was for me. Later that day he dropped it by and I picked it up on Monday. She had even signed the card! Martha was more than a Sunday School teacher to me, she had rocked me in the nursery when I was a baby. I was a member of the Rainbow girls and she was one of our leaders. She was also on of the leaders when I was in youth group. She was there when I had Elisabeth. All my life. She was a wonderful woman and heaven is now a little sweeter with her there. I would have definately loved to see her rock Daxton in the nursery same as she did me, same as she did Liz.
