Elliott:
You're now weighing in at about 2 and a half pounds and measuring 16 inches from head to toe, about the size of a head of cauliflower. By this week you have learned to blink, cough and suck. But most importantly, you are learning to breathe. This means if you decide to come early, from here on out, you would have a pretty good prognosis since your lungs have reached maturity for the most part. However, we want you to keep baking for a couple more months.
This week your friend Paisley Hayes was born. We know the two of you will be great friends since you'll only be about 3 months apart. Your Daddy and I have already gone to visit Paisley twice, and every time we hold her, it makes us more excited about your arrival.
To better prepare for when you arrive, last night we took an infant CPR class at the hospital. Hopefully we'll never need to use it, but now we both feel more confident that if you were choking or unconscious, we could help you until medical help arrived.
We've started receiving lots of sweet gifts from friends and family. This week your Grandma and Grandpa Grant sent us a cradle, cradle pad and blanket. We'll keep this cradle in our room for you to sleep in the first couple of months. Also, Laura finished sewing your quilt, and it looks perfect with your bedding.
We're checking things off the list, now all we need is you!
