Week 32- We are getting close to Baby Time!

Still a Squash, but next week is a new veggie so keep checking back in.

I have not posted in quite some time. I have been waiting to get some pictures ready, but that will have to happen later this week.

My mom is in town and has been working very hard to get everything ready in the baby's room. And it is mostly done. The painting is complete. She is working on curtains today and then all that's left is hanging some shelves and some small decor items. I will post pictures by this weekend.

Here is what is going on with baby:
Your normally energetic baby has started to chill out a bit. Her movements feel more like squirms and rolls rather than hyperactive kickboxing sessions. That's because this week, when she's three pounds and 15 inches long, she has begun to run out of room (or should we say womb?). Beneath her skin is a nice layer of fat, and although she still relies on the umbilical cord for nourishment, her digestive tract is almost fully developed. Fetal brain scans show that babies this age actually have rapid eye movements, which means they're dreaming. Who knows what dreams now fill your baby's slumber.
