Minus 4 weeks and counting!
Baby Boy is the size of a coconut. Still at a length of 17.2 to 18.7 inches and weighing in between 4.2 and 5.8 pounds. He is continuing to pack on the pounds and his skin is getting smoother. His liver and kidneys are completely functioning and he is almost able to completely breathe on his own. His circulation and immune systems are also good to go.

As for mommy, I'm holding in there. Finally feel pregnant with only 4 weeks to go! Minor swelling, nausea, and the ol' aches and pains. Nothing we can't live with though. And, as of last weeks appointment, Dr says we are are right on for an average first time pregnancy. I guess that's a good thing!
Highlight of this month: Baby Shower! We had so many friends and family join me at our house for a quick game, decorating onesies, and a round of opening gifts and eating cake! I don't have pictures from the day yet, but I will be getting them from my friend soon. I will post a few then. But I do have a sneak peek into the amount of gifts we received! And boy, all I can say is we are so blessed with great friends and family! Baby boy is so loved and he doesn't even know it yet. We got an array of things, from outfits to blankets, bottles to toys and books, a tub to a bouncer, a cow humidifier to baby monitors! We couldn't ask for a better life!

| Quilt: Handcrafted by my mom...Never knew she could do this! But we love it :) |
 |
| Diaper cake #1...took a long time to put together I'm sure, but just as long to take apart and put away! |
 |
| Diaper cake #2, all those tiny hair bands wrapped around the diapers...I finally gave up! |
 |
| Super cute diaper motorcycle!! I didn't want to take it apart! |
 |
| Fire trucks with balloons tied to them and 1 diaper cake! |
As I said, LOTS of stuff! And tons of diapers because the of the "man shower." The guys were instructed to bring diapers as their entrance fee. We let some of the guys in without them, though!
So fun! Looks like baby scores some pretty good loot! He will be well loved! And that quilt! Grandma did good! It's so perfect!!! You're almost there can you believe it?!
