This week has been pretty good....
As many of you know, I am the Program Specialist for the Healthy Grandparents program here in Athens and we have interns that help us during the year with case management, I myself was an Intern last year and that is how I got this job! Well, Tuesday the coordinator, Paige and I, took them to lunch as a celebratory end of the year thank you and then we came back to the main office to give them presents that we had made them and they had thrown me a surprise baby shower!! It was so nice! Here are some pics from the shin dig...these are the ones from my phone, I have more from my camera which I will add later!
the plates and the cups match MG's baby bedding! how sweet :)
the cake!
they all decorated onesies for her! and they turned out adorably! this is the one paige made!
we also played the "guess what chocolate is in the diaper game" and the "guess how big my belly is with yarn" game, lol, i have pictures of those on my camera! I'm not exactly sure if that is what the games are officially called, but oh well!
I got some diapers, wipes, baby wash, a dress for MG, and a prenatal massage for me! The interns were soooo nice to do this for me and I was completely surprised!
Also, tomorrow is my baby shower that my cousin Kimberly and Jana are throwing for me at my grandmother's house! I'm soooo excited to see everyone!
I also got a new office chair at work this week! Who knew how excited I would get over a new office chair? lol!
Last night, Amy and I traveled to Atlanta for a braves game! I had alot of fun but I feel like everywhere I go people are staring at me, I can't wait for Molly Grace to get her so they can stare at her and how beautiful she is and not how big I am!
I think thats all for now! Here's a little insight into whats going on with Molly Grace in her 29th week....
Having a baby prematurely is frightening, no doubt. But here's a reason to relax: Due to the impressive advancements of medical technology, if your baby is born this week, she'd have a 9 out of 10 chance of survival, which is seriously great news. Other awesome developments:
Baby's brain can now control her breathing and body temperature. She can also cough, and her sucking abilities have been perfected. Look out, boobs!
Your Mini's skin is looking less wrinkled as she packs on the pounds. She's starting to look more like a Pampers model and less like a Depends model. She's now beefing up on the energizing and insulating white fat she'll be born with (unfortunately, white fat is not energizing and insulating for adults!).
And speaking of energy, your little Energizer Bunny is on fire these days. You're sure to feel your share of kicks, punches and elbows, especially when you're lying down. You might want to start keeping a kick chart to monitor your baby's movements, and also to later show your 13-year-old child what you endured for him or her. Ask your doctor how to count kicks and how often you should do it.
This week your baby is a little over 15 inches long—about the length of a loaf of bread—and weighs about 3 pounds, as much as a Macbook Air laptop. (from http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/29-weeks-pregnant.html)
Thats all for now!
Love!
always,
Mary Beth and Molly Grace
