So I'm 28 weeks!
Here's what I hear is going on with MG from my weekly pregnancy update:
As the Big Day nears, your baby is getting ready to go towards the light at the end of the tunnel (the tunnel being the birth canal, the light being the one the doctor is shining directly into it so she can see what the heck she's doing). Other highlights this week:
Your baby's eyes are partially open now and can blink. Truly superior babies can actually wink. (OK, there is no way to prove that, but it's fun to imagine, no?) Your baby can also now become a shiny, happy person as she has begun having rapid eye movement (Get it? REM? Shiny, happy person?? We'll be here all week.)
Her eyes have color now, too. It may not be the color she ultimately ends up with, especially if they're light gray or blue. The eyes typically don't settle on a final hue until nine months after baby is born. So when your mother-in-law says that the baby has her eyes, you can politely inform her that they'll most likely change soon. Sorry.
Your babe is downright chubby compared to a few weeks ago. She is about 15 inches long, about the length of an amusement park cinnamon-sugar-coated churro (yum!), and weighs 2 to 3 pounds.

So I've officially decided Molly Grace wants out. This week her kicks and moves are out of control. She wants out and I hate to inform her we have a little over 10 more weeks to go.
I can't wait to meet her and for you to meet her all. I PROMISE i will put up a belly pic beginning of next week.
I'm going to Kennesaw tonight! yay for the weekend and this AMAZING weather. and for being able to wear cute summer clothes. and YAY for May! Which is coming up soon!
My first baby shower is going to be next Friday and I'm so excited to see everyone that comes!
More later! Oh and I got asked today if today was my last day at work, as in am I having the baby next week, because I "just look like I'm about to pop. GREAT. I'm only 28 weeks. I got a few more months to go. uhhh!!!!!

Mary Beth and Molly Grace
