Week 36/Work Shower/Poker Diaper Daddy Night!

Here is the info from babycenter.com for week 36: Your baby is gaining about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy hair that covered her body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, your baby will be considered full-term.

Things are moving right along, having the induction scheduled makes it feel pretty real! Had my work shower today. It was so nice to see everyone but if felt sorta weird to be up there and not be working! Now all our showers are done and we can go grab any other extra things we need to get all ready for her. Had our last labor class tonight, it really feels like things are winding down...and we are "ready" for our precious baby! Still feeling okay, just the usual backaches, heartburn stuff, some days are worse than others and getting comfortable at night is a pretty big challenge! She is still moving quite a bit and we are beginning to be able to see a routine with her movements and sleeping, don't know if it will be the same on the outside but we shall see...

36 week bump!

Cake and cookies from work shower...yummy!

Lots of nice and generous gifts!




Here is Neal with his stash of diapers from the diaper poker night/daddy shower! He had a great time and came in 2nd!!!

I love the poker party for the guys & the fact they brought diapers. After our Blakely was born we had a 'sip and see' and it was a diaper shower. Those practical things save you tons of money! I think Blakely stayed in 1's the longest. When we ran out of Newborns at 1 month we bumped her up to size 1. She didnt stay in size 2 diapers very long. Stock up on those 1's!
