Baby Gear!

Adam and I had a great weekend with his parents and sister. We took a trip to Freeport (an outlet town in Maine) and got lots of things for baby Exit. Above is a picture of our new bassinet. We also got a Baby Bjorn and an Easter dress for her. It's so much fun shopping for her!

Here are a few tid bits about how she is growing this week!

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.

Kicking...HARD

So I've been waking up at night to baby Exit kicking away. Adam has felt her a number of times now and she is actually kicking and not just moving around! It's so cool! I have realized on the days that I'm more active, she is less active and the time that I lay around and don't do much (haha, even though it's not frequently) that she kicks away.
Food is still the enemy most times and I really have an appetite, but can never figure out if I want to eat anything specific. So far the only craving I've had is hot dogs and really when you are pregnant, you are supposed to limit your consumption of processed meat.
I find lately, I'm getting more and more excited cause I'm over half way there and a little anxious, but I know that I have a ways left to go!
My in laws and sister in law are coming to visit us in our new house this weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) which should be fun. We are going to have a bbq with both sides of the family, a rarity these days with everyone's schedules.
Sorry, not the most interesting blog in the world, but I felt the need to write!
