34 weeks = cantaloupe

How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

Well, all is well in Sweet Pea land! So far I should say! Every day that goes by, we are one small step closer to having a healthy baby. I can't believe it's almost June. Then before I know it, July will be here! I have a shower that some girls from work are doing for me this Saturday. I'm excited for another shower!! I've already made a "must buy" list of things we have to get before Sweet Pea's arrival. So whatever I don't get from the shower, we'll start buying from the list. I've also made a "must do" list of things to get done beforehand. It's just like deep clean the house, clean out the car, etc. Things that I don't really want to do, but have to be done! So, we've got our work cut out for us in the next few weeks! Only 6 to go!
