Baby Updates!

I'm in my third trimester now and will be 29 weeks on Saturday. I start my twice monthly baby appointments this month and will go weekly sometime in late August.

Last Friday Ryan and I had a 3-D sonogram! At almost 28 weeks, Kaden was 2 pounds 12 ounces. Based on measurements the sonogram tech put my due date at 9/11 instead of 9/20. Only time will tell if he decides to come early, late or on time. We got to see Kaden wiggle around, move his arms and legs, kick and even suck on his hand. Here's some of my favorite pics:




It was amazing to see some of the details like his little fingers and toes. You can even see his lips and chubby little cheeks. His foot measured two inches! I wonder if he'll take after mom or dad.

Here's the "How big is baby?" fruit for the 7th month:

Month 7: Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. Average size: 15.2 oz to 16.7 in; 2.5 to 3.8 lbs

We also had carpet installed on our stairs and in the living room! Our old carpet had such a short nap. We can see the new and old carpet side by side in the hallway upstairs and can definately tell that it was in such a bad need to be replaced. A few more weeks and we'll have the same carpet throughout the house! How exciting.
