Week 29!!!

So... I'm not posting the fruit or veggie for these weeks because it's a squash.  A squash?!  They come in all shapes and sizes and it wasn't a very good comparison!  But here is what it had to say about baby Taysen's development weeks 29 - 32.

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

So there you have it, she's growing and probably somewhere between 2.9 - 3.2 lbs at the moment... she loves punching, flipping, kicking and in general just moving around.  I LOVE being woken up 30 minutes before my alarm goes off because she doesn't want to be still!  Just Kidding, not a huge fan of that part, but it's totally worth it to know my sweet girl is doing well and growing fast. 

It seems like these next 12 weeks can't go by fast enough, yet I still feel like I have much to do.  My bedding is ordered, along with some fabric to match so that I can have Carrie Gant make me window treatments... my Crib and Changing Station are both ordered... and I have a couple of really cute shelves I need to hang... but most importantly I need all those things to come in so I can finish the nursery.  I say "finish" like I've started, which I haven't... my shelves and cute decorations are patiently awaiting the furniture and bedding to make sure they get hung in the right place.  Her room is going to be cowgirl!  I searched and searched for beautiful girly bedding that was both vintage and frilly AND would go with barnwood furniture because that's what we have in that room.  Well, never found any I loved BUT I did find a western set that I loved.  So I picked out a crib that was vintage and distressed looking because I knew it would make the western more girly and definitely go with the barnwood furniture already there.  I'll post picture when it comes in, don't want to ruin the surprise now. 

This weekend is my sweet nieces 1st birthday, the next weekend Tyler and I are taking our concealed handgun class, then I have two "free" weekends before my first baby shower.  I'm so looking forward to all of the fun events in August and am so thankful for my sweet family and friends who are throwing me a shower.  I know it's going to be wonderful and I can't wait to post pics of that either!

SO MANY BLESSINGS AHEAD!!  LORD, GIVE ME THE PATIENCE TO ENJOY EACH MOMENT AS IT COMES!!

 

Weeks 25 - 28... getting SOOO close!!!

Weeks 25-28 (month 6): Eggplant

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
