34 Wks

Yesterday marked our 34 wk point. Only 6 wks to go! I have decided I am addicted to sweets this time around! It's only been 6 weeks since I found out I don't have Gestational Diabetes and I ate good for about 3 wks...but ever since then I think the sweet tooth is back like a raging bull! :-(
Colton's Stats -
Around 5 pounds
Crown to Rump length is 12.5 inches with the total length of 19 3/4 inches!

33 Week Check up

We had our 33 week check up today. Everything looks great. Colton's heartbeat was 150, I measured 32 cm (could have been Colton's position or the fact that my hand was behind my head that made me measure 1 cm smaller than I should be) and have gained 14 lbs so far. Dr. Reiter said it doesn't look like I'll be having an 8 or 9 pounder at this point and I said "I'll be perfectly happy with another 6-7 pounder like Lauren" (6 lbs 11 oz). :-) So we will see. Only 7 short weeks to go!
Colton's Stats - He should be around 4.6 lbs and 19.5 inches from head to toe!



We won't have any more belly comparison shots until week 35 as with Lauren's pregnancy I skipped weeks 33 & 34 for some reason? Have a great week everyone!

1st Baby Shower for Colton

Sunday night Greg and Jen hosted a co-ed Baby shower for baby Colton. It was a huge success and I think everyone had a great time! Below are some photos from the shower.
Lauren has a new buddy...Hayden! We got to see him last week and then this weekend as well so whatever he was doing she wanted to do too. If he was eating she wanted to eat, if he was drinking milk she wanted milk, etc. It was too cute. Thanks for sharing your toys Hayden!
Bubbles...
Tracey throwing Lauren up in the air...we finally had to tell Lauren that Miss Tracey needed a break because Lauren kept doing it. Thanks Tracey! :-) As you can see Lauren was enjoying it!

Baby J.Lo! :-) Thanks Carrie for getting this for Lauren! She had to sleep with baby J.Lo Sunday night when we got home. That was very thoughtful of you to think of her!

Thanks everyone for attending our shower! We had a great time and it was nice to sit and talk with everyone! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks again Greg and Jen for opening up your home!

32 Weeks

Happy 32 Weeks to me! Only 8 more weeks before we meet our precious baby boy! I'm a very lucky pregnant lady. I'm feeling wonderful and enjoying the process! Lauren has started saying, "he's gonna come out and play?" and we tell her "yes but he is not ready yet but he will be soon!" Your sister loves you already Colton! We can't wait for you to meet this wonderful person you will call your Big Sister!
Colton's Stats - At this time Colton should be around 4 lbs and 16 inches from head to toe and his lungs are almost fully developed!
Here is another belly comparison. 32 weeks with Lauren vs. 32 weeks with Colton.
