Eventful weekend

Miss Brynn decided she wanted to start our weekend off with a bang!  Friday night we put her to bed as usual.  Imagine my surprise when I heard a loud THUD come from her room a few moments later.  That's right folks, she decided it would be a good time to climb/fall out of her crib!  UGH!  I race in there, calm her down and decide to see if she'll do it again or if it was just some fluke.  I put her back in the crib, she immediately stands up and hoists her leg over the rail.  Obviously the fall didn't scare her and we realize that this isn't going to work!  {Do you see where this is going?}  So we decided not to risk her climbing/falling out again and converted her crib to a toddler bed.  Surprisingly she is doing quite well sleeping in the bed!

Saturday morning we headed off to Placerita Canyon for a hike.  We got a bit of a late start, so it was quite hot!!!!  I think we did pretty well considering we hiked about 3.2 miles!

Sunday we had a little gathering of family to celebrate Baby #2's impending arrival.  We had a nice time hanging out, eating, swimming and enjoying every one's company.  Thanks to those that were able to make it out, we really appreciate it! {the picture above is of me and my Mom}

And last but not least, a belly pic!  At 37 weeks the baby is now the size of a watermelon and is considered full term!  YAY!  Baby C is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day.  He/She is also brushing up on skills for the outside world:  blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling and gripping!  We are getting close!

Oh, and Brynn is 16 months old today.  Happy 16th monthday little booger!

32 weeks

Sorry...we are a little late on the update for 32 weeks.

We had our final shower on Saturday and we had a great time. The little one got even more stuff and we are so grateful to everyone! Thanks so much to Debbie and Stacie for putting on a great event and all the hardwork that went into planning everything! Again we don't have a lot of pictures on our camera, but you get the idea.

At 32 weeks the baby is about the size of a jicama weighing 3.75 pounds and measuring about 16.7 inches long. Little pumpkin now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). The baby's skin is becoming soft and smooth as he/she plumps up in preparation for birth.

Here is the belly pic from this week.

Baby Shower, Prenatal Yoga, and 31 weeks...Oh my!

Last Saturday was my first baby shower. It was a lot of fun and we got tons of good stuff for the little one. Thanks to everyone that made it out...it meant so much to have you all there! And a special thanks to Anna for hosting/planning and to Erika and Kelly for helping with the planning and decor! I would post more pictures, but I'm still waiting on someone ::cough::my Mom::cough:: to send me them because I didn't get too many on my camera.

Thanks again ladies!

This week in Baby University we got to tour the maternity floor. We got to see where everything will be going down and see the ins and outs of how they do things there. It was nice to get a little preview so we don't feel completely lost when we go in. If you're interested at all you can see some of it here. Let's just say we are hoping for a private post-partum room!!

Yesterday was my first prenatal yoga class...Anna and I are taking it through the city parks and rec department! It was a nice class, lots of stretching and stuff, but hopefully it picks up. It was a little too slow-going for me and I was hoping for a bit more of a workout.

And at 31 weeks the baby is about the size of four navel oranges...measuring over 16 inches long and about 3.3 pounds. From this week on, the baby will continue to gain about 1/2 of a pound per week until shortly before birth. Due to increasing space constraints, the little one's arms and legs stay drawn up close to the body now. The baby can now process information from all five senses and the only system that is not fully mature is the lungs. But we are getting closer!

Here is a picture of the bump this week:
