34 weeks!

Each week is flying by faster and faster!
Dad is gone again for a few days, hopefully the last time until the baby is born. We have a couple more things to paint in the baby's room and then we are done. . . for now. I told John the rest can wait until after lil bambino arrives. Would like to spend some time together NOT working before we are a family of three (four, sorry Tucker!). Poor dad has worked so hard he deserves a break.

According to babycenter.com -

How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
