33 Weeks.


Elliott:

You're growing like crazy these days, and so am I!  This week you are about the size of a honeydew, weighing about 4.5 pounds and measuring in at around 19 inches long.

We had a busy week this week.  We attended our final two classes: childbirth and newborn care.  In our childbirth class we learned what things to expect when I go in to labor, how to cope with the pain, and got a tour of the labor and delivery wing of the hospital where you'll be born.  In newborn care we learned, how to change your diapers, bathe you, care for your cord stump, soothe you when you're upset, etc.  I think we're now as prepared as we can be for your arrival, the rest will just have to come naturally.

We also had another baby shower, thrown by several women that go to church with your Pia.  We got so many nice things!  Your nursery is now complete and we've washed and organized all your new things.  Aside from getting your car seat and installing it in our car, we are ready for your arrival in case you decide to come early.

On Monday we took some maternity pictures with our friend, Grant.  I can't wait to see them!  I thought it would be a special keepsake for you to have when you are older.

We're checking things off the list and looking forward to enjoying the holidays with our family.  This will be our last holiday season as a family of two!

We love you,
Momma
