32 Weeks!

Im Officially 32 weeks...starting tomorrow! I had a Dr. Appt yesterday and everything went great! I gained 2 pounds...yay and measured perfectly for how far along I am. She also listened to Calebs heartbeat...which was extra strong, and was able to tell how the baby was positioned--head down! That was great news, because at the last ultrasound he was in the wrong position! I have 2 more bi-weekly visits, then begin my weekly visits with Dr. Nusz! Baby Caleb is expected to arrive in about 8 weeks:) We can hardly wait!!! We've done a bit more decorating in Calebs room, but I'll have to post pics of that later, since I don't have an adapter to the camera!! I also chopped all of my hair off this week--I've been told not to while I was pregnant, but this was a must--and I love it:)


What is Baby Caleb up to?...well funny you should ask--besides moving around CONSTANTLY, having the hiccups in the morning, and giving his mommy heartburn after every meal...here's whats going on with Caleb:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.

Me and Matt have some classes coming up real soon! We are taking a labor class at the hospital on Dec 4th, a breast feeding class on Dec 8th, and a basic baby care course on Dec 11th, along with a tour of the hospital! I think these classes will really help us a lot as we prep for his arrival!!
Exciting news alert--I leave for Pittsburgh in less then 2 weeks. Sadly, Matt wont be joining me because he has to work! But I'm still excited to see the fam and hang out with them--I dont think we've all been together since our wedding...and that was a year ago--Which is more of the exciting news...Me and Matt celebrate our 1 year anniversary on Dec 1st!!! We cant believe how fast this year has gone by!! The Lord has really blessed us through this time, and we have a lot of great memories from this first year of marriage, and look forward to many many more:) I sure do love him!!
