34 Weeks

Hey everyone, we're in the 34th week now!
  • Baby weighs about 5 pounds and total length is 19 3/4 inches.

I have had a nice week so far. I worked Sunday and don't have to be back to work until Thursday and Friday. I'm starting the schedule of working 3-4 days a week now and through September. It's been great to have some time off. I've been running errands and working a little around the house. I feel almost guilty for the free time, as Brent goes to work every morning. Today I'm going to work in the basement and organize the laundry area. Sounds so fun, doesn't it?!

This coming Saturday is my baby shower! My mom and cousin Jessica have planned the shower, with help from my mother-in-law and from Jas. I CAN'T wait to see everyone!!! Will miss the out-of-towners, but you'll be there in spirit!

The painting last weekend with Scott went great! The rooms look awesome and I'm really thrilled with the colors. The baby's room is so pretty! Scott will come back with after the baby shower to help finish up the trim and finishing touches. He's been so helpful to Brent and me. We owe him big time!! And it was so nice having him around!

Brent and I really enjoyed the birthing class last weekend and we went to a breastfeeding class on Monday. We got a lot out of the classes and got good info. I'm still nervous about the labor process - mostly afraid of the pain. I just don't know what to expect. I have an open mind about natural labor or getting an epidural. We'll just have to see how it goes! I'm starting to get "the bag" ready to take to the hospital. We have two special outfits to take - one blue and one pink sleeper with a matching blue or pink hat. Baby Rowan or Baby Anna will be all set!

Have a good day. Thinking of all my August cousins and family having birthdays!!

Love, Laura

Laura,
You are really stretching out in the front, but it doesn't look like you have gained much weight anywhere else. I can see how you probably feel a little front heavy.It is so nice that you will have a little time before the baby is born to get a few things organized. You probably won't have much time after the baby is born. I can't wait to see you both this tomorrow.

Love,
Dad H.
