Pregnancy Photos-Y and V

I did some pregnancy photo shoots for some friends of mine and thought I'd share some of them...enjoy

Week 36 pregnancy update!

Today was my ultrasound and I have an announcement to make:

"we have a chunker"

and I mean that in the best possible way...

wk 36, almost 37 pregnancy photoAccording to our ultra sound tech she is weighing in at:
7 lbs 4 ounces at the beginning of week 37.
We got to see part of her face, she still likes to keep her hands over her forehead. She is face down in a good birthing position, but I'm not dilated or thinned out yet. We got to see her tummy and the fat layers around her middle, hee-hee. The tech also said that she had big feet (I guess there is no doubt that she is Jason and mine :) and it was fun to see her swallowing and her fuzzy hair again too!I have two minor prayer requests:

1-my diastolic bld pressure is borderline high and I had some extra lab work done to check things out, please pray that it would be nothing serious.

2-our car has been having loads of issues and we had to have a bunch of work done on it, we are trying not to sink too much more money into it, since we plan on getting rid of it shortly after we return to IL, so please pray that it'll last us till we get back with the baby(mid-end August...then it can die or can continue to live on for someone else :)

week 35 pregnancy update

We are now at week 35!

It's crazy to think that in a couple of days(2 to be exact) we'll be entering the 9th month of pregnancy!!

Front view of week 35 pregnancy photoWhat is our baby girl up to this week?

This week she is weighing in around 5+ to 6lbs this week and is probably close to her full length of what she will be, when she is born. The brain continues to develop at a rapid pace and the lungs are pretty much fully developed and are now producing surfactant, which will help in the exchange of oxygen once she is born.

How is Mommy doing this week?
I have to admit that there are now some times during the day when I am starting to feel more uncomfortable, but overall I still feel really good! My stomach seems to have ballooned out even further and has started to drop lower.

That's all for now :)
