36 WKS

Today is a special day.. 1 because it's Tim's b-day and 2 we are @ an important week. 36! At this point if the baby came early our hospital would deliver me here instead of life flighting me to Boise...what a relief!! McKenzie's (or baby Mac as Tim calls her) room is all done and ready for her, all I have left to do is a huge pile of baby clothes laundry. I've been putting it off for a few weeks and Monday I started one load and our dryer broke! so now we are waiting for the part to arrive...lol

Here is a 36 wk update and a few pictures.
*Your baby measures about 20.7 inches from head to toe and weighs about 6 pounds. The baby may drop lower in your abdomen, usually assuming the head-down position. You're in the home stretch; after this week, you'll be seeing your doctor weekly. You may be alternating between feeling exhausted and having extra bursts of energy. Along with backache and pelvic pain.*

32 Weeks and still counting!





My nephews first birthday was this week, it was so cute he didn't want to put his hands in the cake so my brother did it for him and it made him cry...lol I figure that our little girl is probably going to be the dirty one :)
Tim has been trying to get a bear rug for Mckenzie...at least that is the reason he tells me he has to go bear hunting every night! He ended up not getting one but had so much fun doing it :)
Tonight we start our birthing classes, and I just finished painting the room...everything is coming along so quickly it's hard to believe it's almost time.
Here is a quick update on what is going on at 32 weeks.

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, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.

Memorial Wknd in Jarbidge





Tim and I were able to go to Jarbidge and spend a nice relaxing 3-day wknd there! We tried to go on a few 4-wheeler rides but were stopped by some SNOW!!! Other than that the wknd was a blast. Now we are looking forward to coming to Fallon to see everyone in a few weeks..yay!
The pregnancy is going great! The baby is moving a ton and Tim loves watching my belly roll all over the place, it's pretty entertaining for us :)
We are getting so excited and anxious for August to get here. We start our birthing classes in a few weeks, I just can't believe that is already here!

12 weeks Left!!!! oh my



Here is a quick update for 28 weeks...only 12 more to go! yay!!!
Your baby measures about 10 inches from crown to rump, or a total length of about 15.75 inches from head to toe, and weighs about 2.4 pounds. She is able to dream when sleeping and her eyelids open and close. Her lungs are almost fully developed, so there's a good chance that baby would survive if born prematurely. Your uterus extends well above your navel. As baby gets bigger and stronger this month, you may experience leg cramps and mild swelling of ankles and feet, difficulty sleeping, shortness of breath, lower abdominal aches, clumsiness or scattered Braxton Hicks contractions (hardening and relaxing of the uterus). These contractions are normal but if they start showing a pattern, call your health care provider. You may also be urinating more frequently as the uterus continues to push on your bladder.
