35 weeks down!

We made it to 35 weeks!! I am so excited because now there is nothing the doctor would do to try to postpone labor at this point! We went to the doctor this past Friday for our weekly check up. Tripp is weighing in at 5 pounds 9 oz and is still measuring about a week and half larger than he should. When we talked to our doctor about the delivery she told us there must have been a mix up at the hospital with due date and the scheduled c-section. Our due date is actually July 20th, not the 23rd like we were being told. Since she likes to do c-sections a week early we are now scheduled for July 16th..... just waiting on a time from our doctor! It's crazy to believe that 4 weeks from today I will be holding my sweet baby boy! I am nervous but also very excited! 

Since we have been home and I have a little more "rest freedoms" we have been working to get the nursery ready! My parents bought us our nursery furniture and it came in last Thursday. Jeff and his dad worked several hours to get it put together and we love it! We have curtains hung and Jeff got me some craft supplies so I can work on some projects for the walls. I think seeing all of the stuff in the nursery is starting to make all of this seem real! Jeff has also been putting all of our gifts together. It's so sweet to see how excited he gets over every item he puts together. Last night he tackled the pack-n-play! Who knew a pack-n-play could be so complicated but he did it.

I was so excited that since I have a little more freedom I got to see my dad and my family yesterday on Father's Day! It has been over 3 months since I have seen some of them....I think that's the longest I have ever gone without seeing my extended family! We also got to have homemade ice cream with Jeff's family which Tripp enjoyed very much! It's funny when I eat something I guess he likes he flips and kicks around a lot more than normal! I think I am going to have a sweet tooth monster on my hands.

Before I go here's a list of this weeks development: 

• Tripp should be weighing in at roughly 5 pounds.... he's got that one beat!
• His kidneys are fully developed!
• His liver has now begun to process some waste, even though they are not fully developed just yet.
• Most of his physical development is complete a this point, now he will start packing on the pounds until his birth (although I hope he doesn't pack on to many more :) 
• His reflexes are now coordinated.

It still just amazes me at how much detail God puts into every life! To Him be the glory!
