Ok...I was officially 34 weeks yesterday but decided to wait until after my dr. appoinment today to post the baby's update. So here's all the info on us this week. I will get the pictures of my belly up eventually. Still haven't worked out the issue between my computer & my camera.
Have a great week!
Blessings,
Kim
This is day number 239 and I’m 34 weeks pregnant!
I have 41 days or 5 weeks left, and are 85.4% of the way there. (Until due date 12/04/07)
Baby's age since conception is 225 days or 32 weeks.
Delivery - three weeks from Thursday, October 24. 2007
Week Thirty-Four
• He is running out of room - I am so greatful that I do not have to go another 6 weeks. WOW...I am really not sure where he would go. I am wondering where he is gonna go in the next three weeks!
• Our little one's length is anywhere from 17.7 inches (45cm) – 19.8 inches and weight is 4.7 pounds (2146 g) – 5 pounds.
• He acts like a newborn, with his eyes opened when awake and closed when sleeping. He is also settling into more of a routine for sleeping & awake times.
• He has learned to blink. He can also see more clearly when there is a bright light on your stomach and probably has the outline of all your organs memorized!
• Antibodies from my blood are being tranferred to him. These immunities continue to build until birth. Then breastmilk will add even more protection against disease.
• He has already turned to a head-down position in preparation for birth.
• Fingernails have reached the end of the fingertips now. He may scratch his face even before he is born!
• His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever.
• His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well.
Baby Fact:
"Guess what color my eyes are now?" Regardless of the eye color your baby will end up with, right now his eyes are blue. The pigmentation process in his iris won't be complete until his eyes have been exposed to light for several weeks after birth. His final eye color may not be evident for years.

Hi Kim,
I love your comments on baby. I am so excited for you and Jason. And am finding them very informative as I am pregnant too. I have a c section scheduled for November 30; my due date is December 10th!
I was so thrilled to have found your blog after I googled Jason a few weeks ago. Wow-there are alot of amazing things going on with you guys. It has been too long since we've seen you!
It's way past my bedtime but I had to write a little; so glad to hear you are doing well, Debbie Coutlee
HI Debbie!
I was so excited to see your post. Congratulations are in order for you guys as well. I cannot believe how close we are - and a scheduled c also...wow! This is three for you now right? (I haven't missed any babies - I don't think).
I thank God almost every day for the internet. It has been such an amazing tool for staying in touch with friends, near & far. We think of you all often - I cannot locate your new (or not so new as the case may be) address. Can you email me your info? kim@labombard.net. How's Sue & Jason? Tell them we said hi.
Love to you all!
Kim
Sounds like your baby boy is growing just perfectly! Congratulations!
Diane
