31 weeks!!!


7wks & 2 days until we meet our daughter!!! I got alot of her stuff washed the other day (mostly the towels, blankets, washcloths and burbies) I put them all in a basket inside the pack n play...havent started washing the outfits yet..guess that is my next duty!
I have been having Teagan listen to music through my ipod on my belly for awhile now, but the other night I turned on the christmas music...she went crazy!! she was kicking and movin....think this girl is gonna be like her mom and big sister (we LOVE christmas!)



What's going on with Teagan:
Your baby's total length is 18.9 inches (42cm) and she is perfectly formed! She measures about 11.6 inches (29cm) from crown to rump. All she has to do is fill out more. Your baby weighs almost 4 pounds (1800g). If she were to be born now, she would still need to be incubated as she has insufficient fat stores to keep it warm.

Your baby can distinguish between light and dark.

Your baby can hear the outside world quite well now, and can also hear the sounds of your heartbeat, your digestion and the blood rushing in the umbilical cord. The pitch of women's voices are in the range babies are most able to hear over all the internal background noise. Your baby is already familiar with your voice and will be able to recognize it after birth.


Room update: We have all 4 walls framed in!!!! Venting work is all done....Jeff just needs to get on the ball about doing the electrical and insulation, so we can get the sheet rock up!
