So after months of creating a blog and never posting anything I have decided to bite the bullet and start! I LOVE reading blogs....and figured that this would be a wonderful way to stay in touch with family and friends. Why would you want to stay in touch with us you may ask? Well our life is going to start to get a lot more interesting! Mike and I are expecting our first baby on Christmas Day 2009! Yes Baby Jack Michael Postma will be making his way into this world.
Here are some pictures of my pregnancy so far!
15 weeks, 20 weeks, 26 weeks, 30 weeks
Today starts my 34th week!
How your baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
I have a feeling that with a 5'11 mom and 6'6 dad this baby may be on the high end of the charts and a little ahead of the game:) His cute little "kicks" now feel like a punch to my ribs sometimes! But I don't want to complain because that is one of my FAVORITE things, feeling him move around, I think I will miss that feeling once he makes his way into this world. At 34 weeks I am feeling great~ well pretty tired the majority of the time but what can you do!
Last week started my new career as the manager of the Postma household...I am now staying at home:) I absolutely LOVE it and I am so thankful that my hubby has made it possible. My days are now full of organizing, cleaning, cooking, walking Dutchie, and running errands with MarBear. Mike is back at the Marmon Group, but thankfully won't be traveling much until the New Year, so we still have 6 more weeks left of just the two of us!
Well I think that this is a long enough for my very first post!
Thank you for reading and I hope that this turns out to be a great way to stay in touch!
Love,
Jenny, Mike, Dutch...and soon to be Baby Jack!
