Anyway, we did take some time to relax over the weekend too. We went out to get Mexican with some friends of ours on Saturday, and then played a very intense 3 hour game of Risk in which Matt finally became the conqueror of the world, taking me out in the process.
On Monday evening, we had our final Childbirth Class – Newborn Care. We learned how to feed, hold, swaddle, and bathe our little one, as well as how to manage crying and postpartum care. We’re feeling ready for our next journey together as a family, and now we'll just have to wait out the next few weeks until Baby decides to make an appearance.
As far as Baby goes, Baby has been very active this week, and has been getting the hiccups a lot lately! Baby is about 5 ½ pounds and around 18 inches long. Baby is busy adding on not only fat cells, but also brain cells, making the head the biggest part of Baby’s body. Everything else in Baby is, or is very close to, being fully functional. Baby has even started processing waste through the liver.
