the baby bucket list

I’ve got 5 weeks left. Just over a month. That’s 5 weekends to get things done with my husband, since weekdays are spent with Ryan while the hubby is at work. FIVE. I need to plan well. Lately, it’s all I think about. I might drive myself crazy first.… I make list after list, losing every one or changing the order or adding more things.

Well, I’m writing this blog post for me – to keep track of what I want

Pregnancy: week 34

*6 weeks left!*

She’s just under 5 pounds (think: cantaloupe!) and is about 18 inches long from head to toe. She’s pretty much a BABY now and would do pretty well outside the womb at this point. But her nervous system and her lungs are continuing to develop so it’s best she stays put for the next 6 weeks!

Pregnancy: week 31

*9 weeks left*

She’s getting chunky! 16 inches long and about 3.3 pounds. She is moving alllllll the time. I think she sleeps for most of the day and usually wakes up and starts kicking around 6-7pm? And then, yes, she kicks and moves all night long. I hope her sleeping schedule reverses in the next 2 months, haha. And some of her kicks and punches (and elbows and feet) really
