I’m so thankful for my truly wonderful friends, who did an amazing job and helped make me feel so special-Thank you Alicia, Kim and Genny! I apprecaite all the support and love you have given during this special time! And a big thanks to all the people who were able to make it to the shower! It was such a fun day =)
Party favors-so cute!
Guests had to sign what colored shirt they think Baby Fetrow is- only one person signed the blue shirt, everyone else signed the pink shirt!!
How awesome is this cake!?!
The ladies and me!
Baby bumps!
Pregnancy moments this past week:
*On Monday, Brad and I took a Child Care class with Kim and Sam. We learned how to swaddle, how to bathe, change a diaper and soothing techniques when Nugget cries. It was an informative class that we enjoyed! We learned new things such as, how important tummy time is and the different ways you can do that and how important skin to skin contact is. Overall, the class made us extremely excited to be able to apply our new learned skills very shortly! Except dealing with the crying baby part...haha!!
We did master the skill of swaddling as you can see! I’ll admit, Brad is MUCH better at it than I am...so that will be his job!
*We had our last Child Birthing class this week- which means we are certified to have a baby, right?! Just Kidding! The last class was good-we spent time talking about post-partum and aftercare for the baby. I won’t lie, I’m happy those classes are over. But, we did learn A LOT of information about delivery and laboring-so it was good time spent attending these classes. I think Brad and I feel prepared for labor and delivery and at least have a plan in place. We do have minimal expectations for what is to come so that we are able to be flexible for whatever needs to happen for the health of our baby.
*We met a new doctor this week! Remember how our doctor will conveniently be on vacation when Nugget is due! We plan on meeting the other two doctors in the practice as well so we will have at least met once before any of these doctors help deliver. We really liked Dr. Holton-she was great with offering lots of information to all our questions. I asked her if she was able to determine the position of the baby, because I feel like the baby is really low. She tried to feel but couldn’t get an idea of the position, so she went and grabbed the ultra sound machine, and next thing you know, we’re looking at little Nuggets head!!! We also got to see the heart beating and the little rib cage- by the movement of the rib cage, you could see that baby is practicing breathing. Aw :) It was a fun and unexpected surprise to see little Nugget again! Baby is head down, butt up and feet and hands are punching me on my right side of the belly, which now makes PERFECT sense, since that is where I’m getting the most movement at! But for all of those who are wondering...because I know it will be asked-NO, we did not find out the gender!! It’s still a surprise ;)
*I’m getting a little swelling in my feet every now and then. Not so bad yet...I’m sure it will be once the weather gets a little warmer.
*I’ve been getting heartburn every day for the past four days. It’s mostly annoying, but not painful. It has been keeping me up at night.
Baby Update:
Baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space!. I’ll be gaining a pound a week and roughly half of that goes straight to Nugget. Baby now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz) and skin is becoming soft and smooth.
