33 weeks.... only about 48 days to go!

Gary and I at Katie and Will's wedding @ Fanny Hill We had a good but busy weekend! Yesterday we had a fourth of July gathering at Gary's parents and then my friend, Katie, got married at Fanny Hill. It was a lot of fun and Gary said he had more fun than he expected to have at the wedding so I'm glad about that. We danced a little, since my belly is so flippen big, and we were home by around 9. I was so tired I zonked out pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow. I had some weird dreams last night... in one of them the baby was moving around and pushing up on my tummy... you could see the face pushed up against my belly and I went to take a picture with my phone and it had x-ray capabilities so we could see the sex of the baby... and then the next dream I had the baby but I wasn't even in the room! LOL... I had to knock on the door for Gary to let me in... and there was the baby (wish it worked out that way)... it both cases the baby was a different sex so still have no idea what my guess is. I also remember asking the date... July 15th... wouldn't that be weird if I actually ended up going into labor that day?!?! Anyhow... here's the update... Relaxing on a bench... trying to be artisticish... :)

My Baby:

Starting at about week 26, your baby has slept and awoken at regular intervals. He closes his eyes when he sleeps, and he'll even dream during the last month before birth. No one knows what babies dream about in the womb, but they show reactions ranging from frowns and smiles to crying and kicking. Asleep or awake, you may feel the kicks in a new place around now--in your rib cage, just below your breasts--as he moves into the head-down position where he'll probably stay until birth.

I feel huge... LOL Got alot of compliments on the dress. :)

Baby's Length: 19-19.5 in.

Baby's Weight: 4.5 lbs.

Baby's Size: Medicine ball

I love this picture of Gary... a real smile!! Isn't he so adorable!?! He's the best boyfriend ever and he's going to make an awesome father!!!!

How your baby's growing:

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like apearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood. The four of us... Will & Katie Lund-Nunez, Gary and I :)
