33 Weeks (Last Week)

So we officially have bedding for Kailyn's nursery!! We are still working on getting the more detailed stuff together. Mommy is being very picky and can not commit to any decorations...we have bought 2 mirrors and 3 lamps so far just to bring home and see which one looks the best :)

Here is a sneak peak of Kailyn's room:



Mommy has also been working hard to finish putting all of the sweet little clothes away in the dressers and hung up in the closet. Who knew girls came with so many accessories?! There are so many outfits that have pieces- a matching bloomer, headband, or hat. We have been able to fit all of the clothes up to size 3 months in the dressers and pack all of the rest away.


It has also been fun to get out some of the "girly" things Mommy has been buying lately. It is starting to look like a little girl's room. And we are loving the monogrammed items...seeing her little name in print is so much fun :)


So here is what Kailyn was up to during week 33:
This week Kailyn weighs a little over 4 pounds (about the size of a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for her to fit through the birth canal. Mommy will observe rhythmic movements of the baby. As she grows, there will be less fluid available, which makes the movements feel more frequent and vigorous. By now, the amniotic fluid is at its highest level. The amniotic fluid is very clear and there will be 2-6 cups of amniotic fluid at the time of child birth. Kailyn is taking intermittent deep breaths now, as she gets oxygen from the placenta.

As for Mommy, not many changes this week. The only thing that has been a little tough is sleep. It seems like every other night it is hard to get back to sleep after a middle of the night bathroom break. Laying there for 1-2 hours is getting exhausting and starting to catch up with Mommy!! Hopefully we can catch up on some rest sometime soon before Kailyn's arrival.
