33 Weeks

Yesterday (Monday) was 7 weeks until my due date! It still seems like a long time from now, but when I think I've already done 33 weeks, then 7 doesn't seem like so many left! The baby should be weighing in around 4 pounds now, and I can definitely feel it. Lately he's been sticking something in my ribs. As of 2 weeks ago, he was still in the breech position (meaning his head is up by my ribs), and it definitely can make it uncomfortable to lean over or bend down. I'll have another ultrasound on Tuesday of next week. I can't wait to see how much he's grown. You'll have to check back later to see ultrasound snapshots! Until then, here's a pic of what the baby looks like at week 33. :-)

Baby Albarrán - Week 30

I’m now going to see Dr. H-P every 2 weeks. I’ve made the 30 week mark, which is very exciting. I’m ¾ of the way done, and I have less that 10 weeks to go!!! Still no progress on the Baby’s name. It’s up in the air: Benjamin or Joséf. Anyway, here’s a picture of what he would look like right now…

I’m starting to get fat! The baby is growing very fast now… Note that I did not include a picture of fat me this week. :-) Hah!

Baby Albarrán - Week 28

We’re back in B.R. just in time for my next Dr.’s appointment. I had an Ultrasound first, and here are some sneak peaks of the baby.

Dr. H-P says the baby is at about 45% (50%
being the average), which is very good. His
little head was over 25 cm (or about 10 in.) in circumference. His brain is getting big already! And he is weighing in at about 2-1/2 pounds!

Baby Albarrán - Week 27

Finally!!! All of the Hurricane drama is over! We finally have our power back after 14 days with no a/c. I’m so excited about air condition! :-) But we can’t stay home for long, because we are off to Rogers, Arkansas to see Juan’s family. And what a surprise... when we got there, the Albarrán family threw us a baby shower! It was lots of fun, and they sent us home with tons of wonderful gifts! Here’s a pic of us with J's parents and the cake, and one of me and Juan opening presents!
