35 Weeks

Hard to believe that we only have 5 weeks until our baby bird is due. With that said, it may be somewhat obvious as I seem to look more and more tired with each week! This pregnancy stuff is pretty exhausting; and combined with the recent jump in temperature here, I am worn out! Fortunately, though, I am carrying a healthy baby girl and it won't be long until I'm snuggling her in my arms. Speaking of snuggling, our bird is now starting to pack on the pounds to fill out her little frame. At 35 weeks she weighs over 5 1/4 pounds and is more that 18 inches long. Tim and I are working on our "bets" about how big she will be (in pounds and inches), so if you want to join in, leave a comment or email me your best guess and we'll see who is the closest when she arrives.

This week has been an eventful one. We have had a few visitors and made quite a bit of progress in the baby preparation department. My wonderful friend, Krista stopped by for a quick visit and it was so much fun to catch up! I realized this will probably be our last time together before she officially becomes Auntie Krista! We were also fortunate enough to have both of Tim's parents in town and they were such a huge help. First, they delivered a comfy rocking chair that my mom so kindly donated to the nursery. Then, we made a successful trip to Babies R Us in Spokane followed by a Fourth of July spent painting the nursery. It looks adorable! As soon as I have it set up, I will be sure to share photos. And, as I told them as they left, this will be the last time they leave our house without a granddaughter to say goodbye to. What a great weekend! Hope everyone had a fun 4th!
