How big is our baby?
Our baby is approximately 16 ½ inches long and weighs between 4 ½ to 5 pounds.
What is happening with our baby?
His skin is looking less red and less wrinkled. Fat stores are continuing to be deposited, and his bones are all beginning to harden except for the skull.
Ben and I had our 'Caring for Your Newborn' class last night at UIHC. It was a good class and we both learned a lot of little snippets that we are hoping help us out come March 1. We practiced swaddling, diaper changing, and bathing (all good since neither of us has any experience with those things). We also learned that we aren't really 'planners', so despite multiple schedule templates that were handed out, we are going to wing it in terms of who gets up with the baby at what time and who does what chores.
We have two more baby classes in the evening this week, an OB appointment on tomorrow, and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa (and possibly Aunt Kim and Aunt Nancy!) on Wednesday. It will be a busy week before we head to Minnesota for baby showers this weekend.
