Week 34 Highlights
Dad and I toured the hospital where we're going to deliver - this is all starting to feel very real!
I spent Tuesday in Lincoln where I got to meet Baby's future buddy, Garret McGill, and spend time doing the summer thing with Grandma, Aunt Carly, and Aunt Kelsey (lunch at Olive Garden, shopping, and swimming).
On Friday, Dad, Baby and I went to an outdoor concert at Stir Concert Cove in Council Bluffs with Uncle Aaron, Aunt Amber, and our good friends Matt & Drea!
Saturday was a fun day - "Diapers & Beer" at our house (some friends came over to drink beer at our house, and the cover charge was diapers!).

This week in development
Baby weighs as much as a cantaloupe (holy smokes, these are some big fruits we're talking about now!)
His testicles are making their way down from his abdomen to his scrotum (sorry, I know...)
He has reached an important benchmark now - babies born at 34 to 37 weeks, although early, may or may not require a short stay in the NICU and generally do as well as full-term babies provided that they don't have any other health problems
How's Mom doing?
Aside from a few mood swings and some occasional abdominal tightness/crampiness (can anyone tell me if this might be Braxton Hicks contractions?), I'm doing just fine! I am getting a little nervous about starting residency - orientation begins this Thursday, and my first official day is Friday, July 1st.
How's Dad doing?
He has been keeping busy with work! The diaper kegger was a lot of fun, and he wants to say a big "Thank you!" to everyone who came!
