35 Weeks AND 35 days!! WOW!

Hi everyone! :) Happy Week 35---and as of today we only have 35 days (or so) left to go!!! Yippie!!

This week our little Ava is a HONEYDEW MELON! We just went to the grocery store and I picked one up---and yep, it feels like the exact size of the little munchkin when she sits on my bladder. :) Here is a new bump picture for all those interested---I feel like she can't get any bigger which I know she can. Yikes!!

So what's going on with the little lady. She is now weighing in at around 5 1/2 lbs and is over 18 inches long. Her kidneys are fully developed and her liver can now process some waste products. She can no longer do somersaults, but she is definitely still a kicking fool. In fact I have one spot that I'm pretty sure right under her foot or heel---it's super sore and feels like it's bruising. :) Nothing like being kicked from the inside out. :) No honestly---I love it. It may be my favorite part of pregnancy. :) Other then that, they say that most of her physical development is complete now and she will just be putting on weight for the next few weeks! :) Yippie!!

So my doctors appointments are going well. Our next one is on August 27th (happy birthday sara jean) and then after that we go into weekly appointments!! On September 10th we will have an ultrasound done to determine her positioning/approximate size and weight which will be when we are 38 weeks. I really can't believe there are only 35 days left of this. Bring on the angel!!!! :)

Have a wonderful, fabulous, lovely week---our last in the 30's!!!

Love,
Rachel (and Mike)
