Week 34

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her 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.

8 months and 1 week (Yes, I realize this is a terrible picture!)



















This weekend my mom, sister and aunts threw my baby shower on Sunday. It was held at Carlucci's in Mt. Laurel. It was very nice and I received a ton of wonderful gifts! Once I get all the pictures I'll post a link for everyone to see them...Sorry for the delay. I also wanted to thank everyone for coming and it was great to see everyone. I think that will be my last trip to Jersey since I am unable to travel further than an hour from home in the next week. The next time I'm in town Brian and I will be bringing our little girl! :)
