35 Weeks... & Baby Shower

I had a lovely day today at my baby shower. There were about 16 people including myself. We played a couple of games which were quite amusing. The first one everyone had to cut off a piece of string guesstimating how big my belly was (actual width will not be disclosed!). Some people (including my own mother) went a little crazy with the string and decided that I was about the width of a baby elephant. My sister Kelly was the closest but seeing as she was helping me host it she passed on the honour to my Auntie Anne who came a close second. We then played a game where you had to draw a baby on a paper plate while it was on your head. They were then passed around and given a score out of 5 (five being the highest). My sister Melissa won as she got extra points for writing her name as well (also while on her head). This game received quite a few laughs.

After the games I then opened the presents which I have to say was quite overwhelming. I got so many wonderful things. Our little princess is definitely already unbelievably spoilt.

Thanks to everyone for making my day super special. Also a special thanks to those who helped organise, set up & clean up. I really had a magnificent day. To view pictures click on the following link.

Popp Jnr's development at 35 weeks... Bub now weighs about 5.25 pounds/ 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches/ 45 centimetres from head to toe. This week, bub is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. Her liver can also process some waste products. There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in my uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size.
