This week Brax is beginning his preparations to make his GRAND entrance! J His growth is slowing way down so he can save all his energy needed for delivery! I’m not the only one who has A LOT of work to do that day (or days… lol). Brax’s bones are all still super soft to help for an easier delivery. His skull is also not fused together so he has an easier exit. By now most of Brax’s systems are ready, and in place! Almost all except his digestive system that is, since it hasn’t had any REAL practice, or been operational. This will mature within a few weeks of him being here, and outside the womb! His immune system is even strong enough at this point to protect him from infections outside the womb. I LOVE hearing how baby boy is maturing and growing in there! Getting all ready for his grand entrance!! J We CANNOT wait!!! Everyone is so excited to meet Brax!!! 2 more weeks till you are FULL TERM Brax, so stay put in there till then, then you are MORE than welcome to make your big appearance! J But take your time!!! We know you will come when you are ready!
This past week was a GOOD ONE! J It was my first Mothers Day! J Yep, I celebrated even though Brax isn’t quite here yet.. Hey, I’m still going through the motions! ;) LOL.. My cute hubby got me EXACTY what I wanted, new jammies for my hospital stay, and recovery time at home! Haha. I am so simple, and easy to please! J We had a wonderful day celebrating with both our families ALL day! Safe to say, we were both EXHAUSTED by the time we got home! We can’t wait for next year to celebrate with Brax! J Next up, FATHERS DAY!!! One of our due dates is June 17, which just happens to be Dev’s favorite number, AND Fathers Day! So we are crossing our fingers that’s the day Brax decides to come! J We have our next, and final baby shower on May 26! And we are SO excited! My cute sisters are throwing this for us, and they have SO many plans and secrets in store! LOL.. I can’t wait to see what they have come up with! They are throwing the shower at our house so everyone can see the nursery! J We have LOTS of outdoor work to get done by then, so this weekend is gonna be BUSY!! Saturday is going to be filled with yardwork, men, chainsaws, dirt, etc.. LOL.. Then I get some girly, relax time while my sister gets my nails and toes ready for our maternity shoot Sunday! J YAY!! Its going to be a fun, busy week!! I can’t wait!! All this busy work makes me exhausted, but it makes the weeks FLY by, and helps us get one more step closer to our baby boy finally being here! J
How far along? 35 weeks (1 day)- HOLY COW!!! 34 days left!!!
Due Date: June 17, 21, or 22!!! I am going with June 17 since its sooner! J My Dr is really good at nailing down your due date though, so we will see what he says as the time gets closer! J
