Tummy Tuesday! 34 Weeks!

WOW!!! In 5 weeks (or less) Ashton will be here!!! I can't believe my pregnancy is almost over and we're about to have a baby!! I am truly excited and can not wait for his arrival. We're all ready too! His room is complete, clothes are washed, and 98% of the supplies are purchased. YEAH for me! I love being on top of things!!
Anyways, here is my belly at 34 weeks! It's HUGE, lol....MUCH bigger than Tyler!!


My sweet Tyler and I. He is also soo excited about being a big brother. He talks all the time about his baby brother, Ashton. He tells me how he is going to help me with his brother and how he can't wait to play with Ashton. Soo exciting!!



Here is what is going on at 34 weeks with Ashton:
Your baby now weighs about 5 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate him body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
