37 Weeks

Here is the 37 Week BUMPdate: 4/2/14

A HUGE shout out to Dan for doing such an exceptional job with these belly pics.  This is the last one he will be taking...next week I will take one because Julie will be at our house in preparation for delivery!  Dan is the absolute best - he knew about my little battle with OCD and the scrapbook, so he meticulously took each week's picture as close to the same as he could.  It didn't go unnoticed - and her scrapbook is perfectly aligned because of it.  It's the little things, people!

and the side-by-side from last week:

Kamdyn is the size of a swiss chard.  {a what?!}

She is about 6 1/2 lbs and 19 inches long.  She will spend the next two weeks putting the finishing touches on her lungs and brain so she is fully ready for delivery at 39 weeks.  We were fortunate to have one last ultrasound this week and that baby is so smushed in there, it is insane!  The ultrasound tech said she has a little bit of hair and is absolutely perfect!  These first two pictures make her nose look weird and her cheeks look extremely chubby because she kept putting her arm up and scrunching herself up...I am so anxious to compare the real thing in just a couple of weeks!!

This is her forehead, eyes (kind of looking down) and her nose

This is her face pretty scrunched up - I kinda think she's practicing her duck face.  :)

And this eased my fears from the above pictures where her nose was really terrifying...this picture is her perfect little nose with her eyes closed.  I have no idea what the other stuff is under her nose and frankly I'm not sure I want to know.  Ick.

Can you all believe we have ONE more BUMPdate until delivery day?!  As I blogged about earlier this week, a little tiny part of me is feeling a bit sad.  I am SUPER excited, over-the-moon, cannot-wait-to-hold-my-baby.  But I might never get to experience pregnancy again and this might end up being my only baby - so a small part of me just wants to soak up every moment of the next 2 weeks.  And the remaining 97% is just fine with pressing fast forward!  :)

Happy BUMPday, Friends!  :)
