Best week ever!
Wednesday we had our last Lamaze/childbirth class. I think we both learned a lot, and even if we don't use a thing, it helps to feel like you've done everything you can to prepare.
Had a great appointment on Friday; William is head-down already, which is good news, and everything is going perfectly, per Dr. Cutler.
Friday evening my Mom and Nain (grandma) arrived from Pennsylvania; they came all the way to be at the Baby Shower on Saturday. We had so much fun going out to eat, shopping, and enjoying some girls' time.
Saturday was the fabulous Shower thrown by Amelia, Roni, and Lauren. I can't even begin to thank them enough. I could not feel luckier to have such sweet friends here in Austin, back in the Northeast (a very special package arrived from a certain 5 Bucknell ladies), and family (thank you, Gran!) Thank you to everyone who came on that rainy and cool Saturday! Love you all, and we are so very thankful. Bath tub, baby toiletries, booties, books, bottles, bassinets, oh my!
P.S. Today is also an exiting milestone... 35/35. 35 weeks down, and 35 DAYS to go!
Any time after 37 weeks, he would be considered 100% full term - so essentially only 2 more weeks, and he could come any time!
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds. Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
