NESTING!!!!!

Ok, I have been on a nesting binge in the last couple of weeks. For those of you who may not know what I mean, it is said that when the baby close to being born, the mother begins to "nest". She has a sense of urgency that she must get everything for the baby in order. Well that has been me these past couple of weeks. I cant explain why, but I cant stop making preparations for the baby. I want to stop sometimes but I cant stop! I have put together all of her furniture myself. I have washed all of her 0-3 month clothes and blankets and towels... I have put most things away in preparation for getting new things at my next shower (Its on Feb 4th by the way). They say that when you are as out of control with it as I am, birth is imminent. I hope to buy a little more time but I have a feeling Arden is coming a bit earlier than March 19th. I guess we shall see.

In all of my nesting commotion I failed to do the 32 week update. I am 33 weeks today and here are the stats:

This week Arden weighs about 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches from the top of her head to her heels. Her skin is becoming less red and wrinkled, and while most of her bones are hardening, her skull is quite pliable and not completely joined. This will help her ease out of the narrow birth canal. She still may be sucking her thumb in preparation for feeding when she is born.

Finally, here are some picture of the room and of me at 32.5 - 33 weeks... Enjoy!
