Then Two Became Three and then finally Four

*~1 week and a day until Due Date!~*  Which I guess technically makes me 39 weeks? Maybe I have been a week behind on posts...lol I don't really know but what I DO know is that it's getting so close!!!! :D  I have a hand full of friends that are also pregnant...YAY for babies! And a few of them are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little ones any day now as well. I have been so excited about all the babies that have been born lately and am getting very excited to see the new faces that will hopefully be showing up very soon! Good luck ladies and I hope L & D goes smoothly for us all! <3 She's getting SO big.... :) Size :  Baby girl is gearing up to see the world! She is still layering on the fat to help control her body temperature once she is born. She is about the size of a mini Watermelon weighing about 7 pounds and measuring about 20 inches long.

*~36 weeks~* In lieu of football season beginning I thought I would wear my gear ;) Even though it obviously does not fit to well right now haha  It's September, the month of baby girls due date!!! I am getting so excited to meet her. <3  Due to being sick with a cold last week, I skipped my 35 week post so there is lots of catching up to do in this post! :) And I have LOTS of photos to share! Size :    Baby girl is still packing on the pounds, an ounce a day to be exact. She now weighs almost 6 lbs and is more than 18 1/2 inches long, which is about the size of a head of romaine lettuce. Now here comes the gross part. So if you have a weak stomach just go ahead and skip ahead ;) She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. She swallows both of these substances, along with other things, resulting in ...
