Today marks 35 weeks for us. You have reached the size of a large cantaloupe:
Your growth has reached it's peak and will now start to slow down in preparation for delivery. Most of your body systems have reached maturity now, and those that haven't won't until after you are born. We know that you are growing strong because today was our ultrasound and you now weigh about 6 lbs 2 oz, which is the 60th percentile.
We got some very cool 3D photos of your face today and it was just another thing that made your upcoming arrival all the more real. One thing Daddy and I seemed to agree on was that you look to have Mommy's nose. Here's a sneak at your precious little face (ignore the placenta and other stuff that's kind of in the way):

Speaking of Mommy, for the most part I am still feeling pretty good. But there is definitely some discomfort that sets in these last few weeks. Sleep is definitely getting harder to come by. There's always something waking me up - being too hot, having to go to the bathroom, reflux (all things we weren't dealing with until recently). I also feel like you have started to drop, and have been told that by several people now. I'm feeling more pressure lower and my back is often sore. But I don't mind all these things because it's all a sign that you are on your way!
We are working on the final preparations in your nursery as we unpack your gifts and add some last minute decorations. Once it's complete I'll post some more photos.
Tomorrow is our last shower with Mommy's side of the family. So after that I will post some pics from both of the showers. To hold everyone over though, here's our most recent picture from this week:

Can't believe we almost get to meet you, Baby B! That face is absolutely adorable, even all smooshed up. No doubt you'll be that much cuter in person. Love you!!!
