32 Week Update....Lots Happening!

So much has been going on the last week......Let's see, we have nearly finished the nursery, we just have one or two little things to complete! Jamie has been nesting just as much as me! He's been cleaning out closets and storing things in the attic like a crazy man! It's great!
We had our last birthing class last night. Last night focused on baby care things like bathing and swaddling. Jamie's got the swaddling thing down to a science! He also put on the empathy belly to see what it's like to walk around with all that belly weight and try to do housework and move around in the bed! The video below is sooo funny!
Well, I finally gave in......we bought a Minivan! We got the Honda Odessey and I hate to admit it.....I LOVE IT! We got the one with all the bells and whistles and she's a beauty! I have officially crossed over to serious Mommyhood now! heeheeheee!
Here's what's going on this week: By now, she weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in my uterus. I'm gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to my baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

Here's the armour and the chair...

Here's the nursery!

Hope you can see this....it says:
"My prince did come....his name is Daddy"
Here's Jamie trying on the Empathy Belly!
And trying to do a little "house work"....
And trying to roll over in bed.....


Here's the new Minivan.....

Your nursery is beautimous! I love it! And, Matthew told me to tell Jamie that humiliation is only the beginning! HA! Love you guys!
