This past Sunday we attended Jacob's parent's church's grand opening of their new building. The building is GORGEOUS, and the service was fantastic. It was so neat to see the finished product of something that had been going on for so long.
I am getting prego pics taken by the glorious Betsey this Friday. I can't wait! I am trying to find inspiration through other maternity photos, plus decide what I'm going to wear. I'll post some of the pictures here when I can.
How I'm Feeling
Tired and clumsy! I lose my balance when I stand up - it's ridiculous. Also, I drop EVERYTHING, which has made me extremely scared of our super sharp kitchen knives. (I almost dropped the huge butcher knife on my foot earlier this week.) My body is still fighting the pesky cold Jacob and I both came down with last week, so I think that is contributing to the tiredness and all that. I am getting super excited, though, and have big, productive plans for this weekend.
What Bean's Doing

Big news for baby's brain this week: It's starting to wrinkle and fold and looks like something that grew in the back of your fridge. This is due to the rapid growth of your little genius's brain cells. Other highlights this week:
Fingernails and toenails are finally finished—causing his or her parents great fear and anguish the first time they try to cut those little daggers (it gets easier, we promise)! Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now. Trust us, this is a good thing.
Baby is starting to shed his lanugo—the downy hair that was covering his skin. Now that he's chubbier and better able to regulate his body temp, he doesn't need to sport a fur coat 24/7.
"I spy an umbilical cord and the inside of my mom's uterus!" When your baby is awake, his eyes are now wide open and he's whittling away the hours looking around, checking out his rather dark, limited environs.
Your baby hasn't gained much weight or height this week, as most of his energy's been channeled to the brain. He weighs about 3 pounds and is approximately 15.5 inches long, about the size of London, not the city, Britney Spears' Yorkie terrier. Of course your baby is less hairy and way cuter!
