Week 36!

Here we are, only 4 weeks to go until baby's due date! The little crib is set up, curtains are hung, diapers are out, and clothes are in the drawer. We just need to come up with a couple of names and start getting ready for labor and delivery. I had a doctor's appointment today and everything is fine. I'm going every week now until the baby comes. Also, I had some pics ready to upload, but I accidently deleted ALL the pictures from my camera! I am so disgusted. There were like 3 weeks of pics on there! Some great ones of Kaiyah and Columbus in the spring too! Ugh. So, I"ll just have to take some more and post them later. Here's some info on baby though:

Week Thirty-Six
*Your baby is almost ready and most likely, so are you! The only organ still to mature is the lungs. While certainly you are both growing anxious to meet, remember that each day (up to 42 weeks), that your little one stays within your womb will multiply his chances to breathe on his own.
*If he hasn't already, this week your baby may drop into the birth canal. While breathing for mom becomes easier, walking may be the exact opposite! If he's not your first baby, this "lightening" may not occur until right before labor.
*Fat is dimpling your baby's elbows and knees, and forming creases in the neck and wrists.
*His skin is growing smooth and, shall we say it, "baby" soft.
*His gums are very rigid. It won't be many months before you'll see his teeth.
*She has a fully developed pair of kidneys and her liver has begun processing some waste products.
*Your child's average size is now 18.66 inches (47.4cm) and 5.78 pounds (2622 g). Between now and birth she will gain about an ounce a day!
