This week in the life of baby Smitty


So this week is the 29th week of the pregnancy. Last Friday I left and went down to DC to visit with the Babcock's and Brayden for the weekend before the Principal National conference started on Monday. On Friday, I had a prospective client presentation and wore my "fat" suit jacket--wasn't a maternity jacket, but was very big on me when I wasn't pregnant. It essentially fit on Friday, but was snug. Last night, we had the awards dinner for Principal and I had to put the same coat on--it didn't fit and I couldn't even get the two sides to get close by about an inch!! How could we have grown that much in just three days??? If this is the rate that I am expanding on, it is going to be interesting from here on out. I can feel him on a very very regular basis now, which is fun--makes it really seem real. I put this picture up from the What to Expect website as it is hard to visualize what the little guy is actually developing into at this point. He is about 3 pounds this week, but I have gain about 25 pounds so far...hum....that puts me on track for almost 40 pounds of gain...argh...can't wait to get out on the bike and in the water this summer!
