We have a carseat!

We finally decided on a carseat. We'd seen a few but weren't thrilled by the colors and yes I'm still vain enough to care about colors. You've met me, right?

We knew we wanted a Graco since it'd been rated the best.
We had several different options with them.
- The infant which is 5-22lbs and less than 29 inches tall
- 32 which is 5-32lbs and less than 32 inches tall
-35 which is 5-35lbs and less than 35 inches tall

Keep in mind that neither of us are concerned about weight since I won't be able to carry it once Jack reaches a certin weight anyway. I was more concerned with height.

I was a very long baby when I was born, yeah I was huge all around. And since Jay and I are both tall it's not out of the realm to assume we'd have a long baby.

We looked online and I fell in love with the Nolan pattern and located one for a great price. It was delivered while we were at the beach which was way faster than we'd ever thought. Who orderes something Moday night and it's delivered Thursday afternoon?

We're now searching for another base since I'm really trying not to pay 50-60$ for another base. Luckily I think we've found one from a friend that had a boy a little over a year ago.

33 Weeks

I really hate this picture. I had a bad day at work and really wanted to take the picture so I could relax. I'm HUGE!

How far along? 33 Weeks

Countdown: 50 days

Exercise: Been to busy but will try and swim more.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: It's about normal but I miss sleeping on my right side.

Best moment this week: Jay gets an extra day off work. He definatly needs it.

Worst moment this week: Jay and I were both fighting a bug. Neither of us were sure what it was but we were both exhausted.

Movement: Mainly at night but it's picking up. I thought kicks would be higher by now but I guess he's still butt down. He'd better move soon though.

Food Cravings? Sherbert and Icees.. I've never been real big on ice cream but for some reason now I want sherbert and icees and it shows. Lord, I'm HUGE!

Food Adversions: My appetite is way down but I'll still eat anything.

Gender: Definatly a boy by the techs comments.

Belly Button in or out? Innie

What I miss: Being able to see my toenails. Getting on the scale and being able to look down to see my weight. Seeing my weight go up is really hard to deal with right now. Running.

What I am looking forward to: July 4th long weekend. It's taking everything I have not to quit my job for no apparent reason....I just love hormones.

32 Weeks

This week Jack weighs almost four pounds and could be up to 19 inches long. And though that's a head-to-toe length, Jack is actually back to a curled-up position. Jack is not head down yet from what I can tell but we still have a few weeks before we need to worry. I'm not exactly looking forward to being kicked in the ribs but then again being kicked in the bladder isn't fun either. Ever go from not having to pee to having to go in 5 seconds flat?

4D Ultrasound

Below are Jack's latest photos at the 4D ultrasound done this morning. This is his second to last ultrasound and his final 4D scan. The final ultrasound will be done at 36 weeks to assess his projected birth stats. Enjoy!

30 Weeks

Until now, the surface of Jack's brain was smooth. Now that little brain is taking on those characteristic grooves and indentations, which allow for an increased amount of brain tissue as your baby prepares for life outside your womb. Jacks bone marrow has taken over production of red blood cells (before, tissue groups and then the spleen took care of producing the blood cells). This is an important step for your baby, because it means he or she is better able to thrive on his or her own once born.

Things are progressing along. I'm now seeing the doctor every 2 weeks. We scheduled a 3D ultra sound on the June 12 at 11:00a which will give us and idea what Jack will look like since his face is more defined than before. Dr. J will do a growth ultra sound at 36 weeks to find out how big he is. Hopefully the furniture will be delivered this month and the chair will be here at the end of July. Jay just couldn't wait and we've started buying some of the things for the nursery. Pack n Play is set up and we'll probably get the swing next. We're waiting till after the beach to get the carseats/stroller.
