This past Saturday I was thrown a beautiful baby shower! Andy and I really feel truly blessed to have so many wonderful and generous friends. It was a great day. Here are some pictures:
So needless to say, I spent the whole next day from sun up to sun down organizing all of the new and fun baby gear. 5 loads of laundry later and every baby item in my house is nice and clean and folded and put away. I put all of his bedding on the crib.
Here are some pics of me this week...I think I grew a lot from last week:
Your baby could be as tall as 20 inches right now and about five pounds. Need a visual? Hold a five-pound bag of flour in your arms and imagine it's your soon-to-be-born baby (cradle it, and you'll only get strange looks in the baking aisle). Then stack three such bags one on top of the other (and get ready for some more strange looks, maybe from the same clerks who saw you grinning and holding that one-pound box of sugar a few weeks ago). That's how tall your baby is now. (Now go bake some oatmeal raisin cookies with all that flour!)
If your little doughboy is, well, a boy, then you'll be pleased to know that this week his testicles are making their way down from his abdomen to his scrotum. (Some baby boys — three to four percent — are born with undescended testicles, but they usually make the trip down sometime before the first birthday.)
Your baby's fingernails now reach the end of the fingertips and may even curl over the tip, making a manicure one of the first things you'll need to do for your little bundle.
