31 weeks

This was a big week for us! Saturday, G-ma...aka Mama D...aka Jess' mom Donna...threw us a baby shower in Tarboro. There was a great turn out, some cute games, and an adorable cake. And then they showered us in baby gear! I didn't think it was all going to fit in the car! Jess and I had so much fun laughing and "awwwwww-ing" at all the tiny clothes and socks. That baby is set up for life! Well, the first year anyway.

Best moment of this week: the baby shower!

What's new this week: He's about 16 inches and 3 1/2 pounds. His little downy coat of baby hair is starting to slough off and his bones are busy hardening and preparing to support him after life on the outside. He's still learning how to breath and is busy practicing. Nine more weeks to go!
