Raleigh Update

 Raleigh has officially completed 35 weeks!!  She is quite an active little thing and everything so far looks really good!  We will go back to the doctor on Tuesday for the 36th week appointment...things are getting really close...so exciting!  What is said to be going on with her this week is that:  Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales a 5 1/4 pounds (about the size of a honeydew melon).  Because she is so snug in your womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same.  Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her can process some waste products.  Most of her basic physical development is now complete- she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

How fun, it's getting so close! I am sad I won't be in town next weekend for the shower. I wish I could be there. We will have to make plans to get together after Raleigh is here. I can't wait to meet her.
