U is for Unknown (38.80 Weeks)

U is for Unknown.....Now that we are in the home stretch, the unknown of what life will be like with a baby is coming up quickly.  Good thing I have Rebecca on speed dial since she's experiencing life with a newborn about 7 weeks ahead of me.

 


How far along? 38.80 Weeks





Baby’s Size: 7-9 lbs., 20+ inches long



Weight Gain: +30.5 lbs.



Bellybutton: Poking out a bit.



Stretchmarks: None yet.


Fitness:
Thursday-- 30 minutes (3 - 10 min. walks)
Friday--  1-mile walk
Saturday--3-mile walk
Sunday--  1- mile walk and shoveling
Total = 5+  miles





Names: We finally have a girl name we can agree on! But we both are sticking to our original boy name that we like....maybe we will have to flip a coin?


Gender:  This week I've thought it was both a boy or girl.



Baby Movement: Kicking and pushing around in there, but no contractions so far.



Sleep:  Poor Matthew has resorted to putting cotton in his ears to block the sound of my snoring.




Food:  Someone said we should have one months worth of meals in the freezer.  We are not quite that prepared, but we've got a good assortment of food to make quickly.



THINGS/PROGRESS TO DO: Matthew still has to finish the trim around one window in the nursery, I need to steam the new curtains, and we finally gave Tootsie a bath so she'll be clean to meet Baby L.J.



Best Moments of the Week:  Date night with Matthew, dinner with friends.
