Week 32

7/5/2013

Dear Brookelynn,

This week has been a little bit more eventful than last.  We have a lot to share with you, nothing to exciting, but we are defiantly getting closer to meeting you...I just can't wait! 

You are now about the size of a large jicama (16.7 inches and 3.75 pounds).  You are really starting to plump up, although you already had a lot of baby fat...but there is nothing as cute as a chunky monkey baby.  The thin lanugo hair that formed earlier in your development has started to shed now, as well. Your hair and skin will begin to become soft, I just love the smell of new babies, nothing comes close to it except for maybe puppies.  

This week I sanitized everything for you, it only took three hours and was quite the job.  It was nice to get that off the to do list.  Glammy and I made 20 custom burp rags for you too. They turned out pretty good for our first time. Mommy had to take a break because my ankles became really swollen, that has been a problem lately. It doesn't help that we have been having a heat wave and temperatures are as high as 109. Ugh!

Your Daddy and I attempted to set up your sleep monitor and video monitor in your nursery but that ended with a return!  There were too many cords.  So $300 more later we got something we liked much better for your room.  We got a wireless video monitor and a sleep monitor that is much more high tech and more efficient.  It's going to give Mommy more peace of mind and now I don't have to figure out how to conceal all the wires.

Daddy and I also went on our hospital tour in Roseville.  It was very informative, we learned a lot and what to expect when your birthday arrives!  Next week should be a busy one as well, we have a check up with Dr. Claus, a non stress test, and an ultrasound with the specialist.  Tomorrow should be entertaining as well we have an 8 hour child birth class in Roseville! Wish us luck! -XOX!
