1st Baby(ies) Shower

Yesterday we had our 1st baby shower. It was great we got sooo much stuff. We got cloths from NB to 12 months for boy & girl, x2 car seats, changing table, diapers, cloth diapers, bottles....all the things we got were awesome!

The nursery is on its way to getting done, the 2nd crib is up and dresser is ordered. I hope to get it done by labor day with help of a friend.


This last week or so I started feeling hiccups, 1st it was the boy and now the girl.
We made it to the 8th month - 32 weeks, we can do it, 4-6 more weeks!

Your Baby:
Although your baby will still remain active, his days of trying out for Cirque du Soleil are nearly over. About this time your baby will settle into the head-down position in preparation for birth. Other fascinating facts:Both you and baby are putting on some serious weight at this point. You'll probably gain about a pound a week for the next few weeks, with half of that poundage bulking up baby. He'll likely double his weight in the next eight weeks.Ever wonder what your baby is doing in there these days? He's busy blinking, looking around, grabbing things, making faces, practicing his breathing, peeing and listening to everything around him—pretty much exactly what he'll be doing for the first three months of his life, sans the adoring audience and the flashing camera.Your baby may (or may not) have a full head of hair now.

By the end of this week, your baby will weigh about 4 pounds and measure over 17 inches long—about the length of a hot pair of above-the-knee boots. Your LifeWith your appointments becoming increasingly frequent, now's a good time to start tying up some loose ends that might otherwise go, um ... untied. If you haven't finalized arrangements for your maternity leave, get on the ball. Your boss and human resources will need to know what you're planning to do, and it'll give you some peace of mind knowing it's taken care of.With all the nursery shopping you've been doing, you may have forgotten another important room that you need to shop for: the bathroom. No, baby doesn't need a welcome basket from Bath & Body Works, but she will need some medicine-cabinet essentials. Stocking up on baby pain relievers, a thermometer, diaper cream and a snot sucker now will save you a 2 AM search for a 24-hour drugstore later.
