Halloween weekend was a success! We had lots of company come over this year to join us in our trick-or-treating extravaganza! We started with pizza, chips and drinks and then the kids got dressed and ready to trick-or-treat. Tommy, Aidan, Andy, Matty and Ian all had a great time and they were able to finish before the rain really started to come down. We had such a great time with everyone and were so happy to have so many join us this year!
I am now in week 31, with 9 weeks left to go... Here is my update:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
On Monday I had another ultrasound. Amazingly she is weighing in at a whopping 4 pounds 7 ounces already. Of course this ultrasound can be off a bit because there is no exact science when it comes to guessing the weight. She is in the 85th percentile, which is amazing... We want a nice healthy baby so when surgery time comes we don't have to worry about her weight so much... All of my tests so far have come back normal and show no signs of pre-term labor issues developing... Lets keep it that way!
Last weekend we finished moving our bedroom and we have been sleeping in it ever since. We actually enjoy having a bit more space to spread out in our bedroom. This weekend we will start patching up the baby's room and Tommy's room to prepare to paint. I can't wait to get started on the rooms and to see the transformation like we have seen in the dining/livingroom and our bedroom. I'll post more pictures ASAP!
I hope everyone is enjoying their week! I think I am ready to have a vacation, work is tiring and with the time change the days seem so long. Getting out of work and having it already be dark is a bit depressing... Until next week....................................
