This past Saturday I had my first baby shower. It was hosted by my sisters, Kelly and Toni, and my sister-in-law Lee-Anne. It was a great afternoon with family and friends. It was lots of fun celebrating Matthew's upcoming arrival.
This week: Matthew could now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds - the size of the average cantaloupe - and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. FYI: babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies. In other words, Matthew could be here any time :)

Hey George we are excited for Matthew to get here as you are. My mom can't wait. I know he will be spoiled rotten, but he will be a special addition to our families. If you need any thing just call us.
