34 + weeks

Hello Beautiful Bloggers!

This past week we reached 34 weeks (Wednesday, July 30th) and alhtough this picture was taken a day later you will have to excuse us as we are just getting around to posting it now!

As you can see, we are growing! This 34th week marks Olive's biggest weight yet! Approximately 4 and 3/4 pounds. Accordingly, her weight is comparable to an average cantaloupe. That's right, Emma is essentially carrying a cantelope and then some as she is also approximately 18 inches long at this point. She is getting plumper, her skin smoother, her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well (www.babycenter.com). In a nutshell, she is progressing and we are just getting ready for her arrival - YEAH!!!!

We have a accomplished a lot these past couple of weeks that is worth writing about! We have installed Olive's car seat (we are required to go to the fire department to have them help us install it so it is quite the ordeal and we did it :)), chosen a peditrician, washed her newborn clothes, put her stroller together (it looks fab!) and finally, we have purchased diapers and wipes for the first two weeks. We know what you are thinking... and yes we probably are overprepared... but better to be over prepared than to not have anything done. Also, Emma going through nesting is CRAZY... she is already an organizer and planner so it is magnified x 50. Lucky Kevin :)

This past weekend we celebrated "FIESTA" in Santa Barbara with Kevin's parents, grandmother and aunt so we also included a picture of all of us in our backyard post Fiesta Parade on Friday.

Other than that, life is still moving along. All in all, Mom, Dad, Olive and Astro are all doing well! We are truly blessed! Until next post!

Be well and namaste, Emma, Kevin, Olive and Astro.
