So every week I get e-mails from all of these different baby sites updating me on what our little baby is doing that week, what is developing, how big she is, how long, etc. Last week I was 29 weeks and I got an e-mail saying "your baby is getting bigger, she is almost 3 pounds!!" The next day I had a Dr. Appointment and ultra sound where they measured how big she was (by measuring her bones, skull etc.).
She is 3 Pounds 12 Ounces!!! I am measuring at 31.5 weeks, almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Now 12 ounces doesnt seem like much, but considering she is going to be gaining a 1/2 a pound every week from here on out for 11 more weeks... thats 5 1/2 more pounds (if she stays on track which she hasn't yet!) That would put her at almost 10 Pounds just growing normally!
One of my best friends, Dani, Just had a baby... she was in labor for 6 mins!! I asked her what the trick was... She said, dont marry someone who produces big babies. I guess I missed that boat!
Big or not, we are SOOO excited for our little girl to get here. We know it will be a big change in our lives but it is a change that we are very excited for. I'm sure there are going to be many ups and downs and good times and hard times, but we just cant wait for this new little life to come! Every night in our prayers we say thank you for sending her to us and we are trying to get ourselves as ready as possible.
We finally finished her room and I washed and put all of her clothes away so it will be all ready for her when she gets here. We went out and bought a really nice padded rocking chair that lays back and I am soo excited about it! If Sean doesnt know where I am, he can usually find me up in her room in that chair. Its Super comfortable and I am sure I will be speding plenty of time in it in the coming months.
My Good friend Alia took these adorable pictures of Kelsey infront of her tree.
