34 Weeks!

I didn't know what a durian fruit was so

I wanted to see it in comparison to a body 

part.  Baby is approximately this big!

Woosh!  Let's start with that as the beginning of this entry.  I can't believe in only six weeks that you are expected to enter into this world and be placed in your daddy and mine's care.  The responsibility of being a mother and raising you in the gospel is becoming very real as the days slip by, my tummy grows bigger, and your due date approaches.  Although you weighed in small at the ultrasound I feel a closer bond to you than ever before and I'm not worried about your size, you'll grow as you need to.  Knowing how you lie in my tummy makes it feel so much more real that you are growing and changing.  One of my favorite things when I got to see you across the ultrasound was your precious cheeks.  Oh how dear they looked and even though they aren't too pudgy yet I can't wait to smother them in kisses.

Daddy loved going to the ultrasound too because I think just between you and me he feels so much closer to you.  He loves asking about your hair and ideas he has for when you grow.  I love that he is excited and is willing to be an active daddy in your life.  I know that with his calm demeanour that you will be able to feel a love from your daddy that no one else will ever be able to fill and this makes me happy.


So our fun facts about how much you should weigh in at have been inaccurate so far but that is okay :)  Baby girl you are wonderful in every way because you're you.  According to our growth chart this week you:

• Are the size of a durian fruit... what kind of fruit that is I don't know... but it looks very interesting :)  Your length is 17.2 to 18.7 inches approximately.  Most babies at 34 weeks weigh in at 4.2 to 5.8 pounds... so really you are only a little bit off.  You'll pudge up!  
• Have dropped down a bit and no longer kick your poor mama in the ribs now you like to push your booty out as far as it can go which isn't so comfy but I can breathe better and it doesn't feel so uncomfy to sit so thank you!
• Are a silly billy already and your schedule is really off.  Some days you are super active during the day but lately it has been at night... what is the meaning of this?  Are you going to be a party in my crib kind of baby and start rocking out at night?
• Get really excited when daddy comes home and is talking.  You move around a lot.  At your ultrasound when daddy came in the room and started talking you became really quiet after being so squirmy and went to sleep.  So cute you are my precious little one :)

We are excited to meet you but stay in there until after finals!  Thanks!
