32 Weeks!

The clock is ticking faster and faster!  Our friends who are 8 weeks ahead of us hit their due date today which means we have 8 weeks to go!  Jason's mom was in town the past couple of days and they got a lot done!  The nursery is painted and the glider and ottoman (graciously handed down from Julie) has been recovered!  I will post pics soon.  

One dresser is in Houston waiting for us, but we are waiting for word on the 2nd dresser and crib!  The Cocktail party was a lot of fun and Jason, Baby W, and I are feeling really spoiled from all the wonderful gifts.  I am ready to start washing and organizing everything.  I wasn't very antsy about the sex of the baby or even that curious, but I guess after hearing and seeing everyone's guesses it has made me more antsy to know the gender.  We will soon find out!  

Fetal development in pregnancy week 32:fetus in eighth month In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! This means you’ll probably get a swift kick if you put a hot pad on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers out there-- yes, baby’s got blue eyes. At this point, all babies do, although depending on their chromosomal disposition, this could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a remarkably strong immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week, survive premature births. So it’s pretty much a done deal. Even if your little monkey’s planning on heading out early, their survival odds are in everyone’s favor. Time to celebrate (no, no, wait until after the birth to crack open the champagne!) We’re talking baby-showers and alcohol-free punch!
