So this week I have completed week 34 which brings baby D to the size of a cantelope-roughly 4 3/4 lbs, about 18" Long. The central nervous system is maturing and the lungs are continuing to mature. If baby were to come between weeks 34-37 it is said that a baby being born with no other health conditions generally do pretty well, maybe spending just a few days or so in neonatal and generally do just as well as babies delivered full term. Baby has been doing just fine and I don't anticipate an early arrival at this point. Addisyn was born at 37 weeks and Ainsley at 38-both came on their own naturally so will see when #3 decides to grace us with his or her presence. I have roughly 41 days to go give or take a few to babies expected due date of May 14th. I have begun getting things ready and have started to pre-nest-not so sure it's nesting just yet, but I have started to get my loose ends tied up, organizing, cleaning etc so who knows for sure i guess. I have started to feel braxton hix contractions here and there-starting to finally feel like it's really real and soon we will have baby #3! The girls are both sooo excited to get baby out of mommy's tummy so they can hold it and give it kisses. Addisyn thinks it's a girl and really thinks Ainsley and her need another sister. We did however pick out a boy outfit to bring to the hospital just in case Addisyn is wrong so I guess time will tell.
Here is a photo of myself at 34 weeks taken by my photographer Addisyn today

Soon, we will have baby #3 to grace us with his or her presence-we all can't wait to see what we get to bring home from the hospital-pink or blue:)
