Week 33....

The baby room painting is complete and we finally posted pictures! You can go to http://mcgrane.smugmug.com and click on family pictures to see all the pictures. Enjoy! 

We had our 33 week check up today and everything looks good. The heartbeat is nice and strong, staying in the 140's mainly. My uterus is measuring right on target and now it is just up to Tater tot to keep growing and getting chubby! Well I guess it is my job to keep eating for that to happen too:) The crib is set up and ready to go, now we just need to set up the rest of the furniture. We'll post some more photos once it is all set up and baby ready!

Week 32

No big updates this week, aside from a big belly and a big baby! Phil has been putting the finishing touches on the baby room, so those pictures should be ready soon. The goal is to have it complete this weekend, before finals start! Otherwise, we are doing well. We had our birthing classes this past week and feel much more prepared for the process that lies ahead...or atleast as prepared as you can be! So what is your guess, boy or girl? And what date do you think tater tot is coming? The polling has started off to the left of this page, cast your vote now!

Here is a comparison of Week 18 to Week 30...

Week 30

Only 9 weeks or as the blog says....67 days left! Unbelievable really how fast this time has gone by. I am sure I wouldn't agree with this statement all the time:) but I still can't believe that we are going to have a little Andrew or Makenzie in about 2 months. 

Things are going really well. I feel good, just tired most of the time. It is hard sleeping with an active little tater tot growing inside of me. The baby is active all of the time, even in the middle of running around at work, s/he likes to let me know that they are there still! But I tell the baby that I don't mind, I would rather be reminded continually that they are there, then have a non-active baby that I would worry about. 

The baby room is coming along, not too much more painting left for Phil to finish up. We had a great day last weekend with the help of my parents and law school friend Emily, we were able to knock out a bunch of painting in one day. That was a relief! Now when we are done painting, we just have to set up all the furniture and Phil is going to make the bassinet! He is a busy guy trying to do all these things and finish up his semester as well. Tater tot loves him though and knows he can do it:)

Week 29 Ultrasound

The first photo of Tater Tot is a view of the face looking at us. The eyelids were opening and closing when we watched the screen, so precious! The last two photos our of Tater Tot's facial profile with the infamous fist to the mouth. We could see the baby sucking on his/her fingers and smacking his/her lips during this view. It is amazing how active the baby is, Phil especially noticed this during the ultrasound (as I notice it all day long:) We cannot wait to meet this little person with such character already! 

As for statistics, Tater tot is in the 80th percentile for growth, meaning s/he is a big baby, and growing like a weed. The ultrasound shows the baby weighing about 3 1/2 pounds, which is about 1/2-3/4lbs above average. I think what we are beginning to understand is that we are not having a small baby! AKA, we do not have any use for newborn size clothing:) We are happy that the baby is a big healthy baby....because as I always say to the babies at the hospital, this is the only time in your life when "fat is in" so live it up!
