76 DAYS!!! Sweet Fancy Moses we're getting close! I can't wait to be a daddy. I honestly think that every single day goes by like an eternity. We are currently in the states visiting family, having baby showers, etc. and it is getting so exciting, but the days have come to a screeching halt. I'm so ready for him to get here so we can see him, hold him, touch him, play with him, etc. but time is no longer flying because I'm so ready. It's like the old saying goes, "A watched pot never boils;" a watched tummy, gives birth to no baby! AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
On another note, all this buying baby stuff (which by the way makes me freak out about money) makes the whole pregnancy thing is so much more exciting and real. We have clothes, bottles, bags, toys, teethers, and so many other thing, but we're buying it all at the same time. Typically, people will buy this junk a little at a time, but we get to buy it all at the same time AND buy maternity clothes AND buy stuff we need. Thank you Jesus that you provide! =)
So, Kai is now about 2.5 - 3 pounds, according to Baby Center, and is now over 15 inches long. He is officially the size of a Butternut Squash. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. Really, this part of pregnancy isn't all that exciting. He's getting fatter, filling out, fine tuning the development process, etc. Nothing new is happening, no new limbs are sprouting (at least we hope not!), no extra nubbins, no more toes, nada, zip, zilch. Everything is in place and preparing itself for life outside the womb.
Due to his rapid growth and weight gain, Kai is now filling the space in that little sac of fluid. He dropped yesterday and now sits lower, which Lisa is thankful for. He is still every bit as active, but it is obvious that he is cramped. You can now feel him on all sides at the same time and if you press on one side, you see him bulge on the other. =) It's kinda cute, not gonna lie.
This whole process has been long and exciting and we are so ready for little Kai to get here. I can't wait to see his cute little face and hold him for the first time. Just 2 1/2 months left!!!
