About Our Baby

This week, our baby boy baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space...and I'm definitely feeling it! I'm now 32 weeks and Counting!! Gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.(babycenter.com) It's hard to believe I'm getting so close. I'm a little worried with the delivery and just praying James will be home in time. I've started to see my doctor every 2 weeks and with one more 2 week visit left I'll go every week starting in April. It's been quite a challenge picking out the name. One thing we have tried to do is keep a "J" in his initials. I liked Jake for a middle name, and James liked Jay...so maybe Mason Jay~Trying to still keep our eyes open if we do see another name instead. I've been so sleepy too, but hoping to keep my energy up with soo much to do. I have to keep going, and trying to not be overwhelmed...and just keep praying!
