10 Weeks Left...

I'm starting to get SUPER EXCITED about meeting my baby boy. I say that we have ten weeks left, but no one really knows how long it's going to take. I'm hoping he comes a little early (just a few days) so that his birthday isn't always going to be on Memorial Day weekend.

Last Sunday was my second baby shower... all the wives/ladies of 'the group' came over and celebrated with me! Ryan got all kinds of fun toys, clothes, and bath stuff. It was a fun time and I was glad to get to see everyone! I had a great time and look forward to my other two showers coming up in the next few weeks. I have some new pictures of the nursery... I will share soon!

Also, Wesley and I went to our child birth class last friday night. It was very informative. I learned a lot from the class and from the hospital visit. I can't wait to share Ryan's birth story and I pray that things work out so well for us all!

Here is what 3D Pregnancy has to say about week 30:

Big news for baby's brain this week: It's starting to wrinkle and fold and looks like something that grew in the back of your fridge. This is due to the rapid growth of your little genius's brain cells. Other highlights this week:

Fingernails and toenails are finally finished—causing his or her parents great fear and anguish the first time they try to cut those little daggers (it gets easier, we promise)! Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now. Trust us, this is a good thing.

Baby is starting to shed his lanugo—the downy hair that was covering his skin. Now that he's chubbier and better able to regulate his body temp, he doesn't need to sport a fur coat 24/7.

"I spy an umbilical cord and the inside of my mom's uterus!" When your baby is awake, his eyes are now wide open and he's whittling away the hours looking around, checking out his rather dark, limited environs.

Your baby hasn't gained much weight or height this week, as most of his energy's been channeled to the brain. He weighs about 3 pounds and is approximately 15.5 inches long, about the size of London, not the city, Britney Spears' Yorkie terrier. Of course your baby is less hairy and way cuter!
