Baby Registries Updated!

Things have changed up a bit. The Walmart registry has been eliminated. Items have been added to the BabiesRus and Target gift registries, and they will be sent directly to Bridgett's home.  And, again, gift cards are an option....no shipping costs and they can be emailed, too. Click on the links below to get to the registries.

• Babiesrus.com - Under "Find a Registry", search the name BRIDGETT (First) BLYTHE (Last)
• Target.com 

And, if you would rather make a gift or buy outside of the registries, send Big Sis a message and I will reply with Bridgett's address.

Week 34: What's Happening?

Baby’s…

…recognizing and reacting to simple songs, if mom is singing to him.

…urinates about a pint a day…YIKES!

Mommy’s experiencing…

…blurry vision, created by a combo of hormones, fluid buildup and lack of sleep.

…fatigue, which is compounded by the lack of sleep.

…constipation. Get a lot of fiber and water mommy!

…swollen ankles and feet. Make sure you get those feet up!

…pressure in lower pelvis and frequent urination as baby moves downward.

Week 33: What's Happening?

Baby’s…


…keeping his eyes open while awake.
…starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
…bones are hardening.
…going through (more) major brain development – so he can be smart like his mom!


Mommy’s experiencing…

…a metabolic rate that is through the roof, which may leave her feeling HOT!
…headaches, due to hormone fluctuations, stress or dehydration.
…shortness of breath – through she’s probably used to it by now.
…forgetfulness and clumsiness, aka “baby brain”…all totally normal.

Week 32: What's Happening?

Baby’s…

…getting ready for his descent -- he's likely in the head-down position now.

…and he’s probably feeling even more cramped.

Mommy’s experiencing…

…shortness of breath. Don’t worry: baby is getting plenty of air.

…darker nipples, so baby can see them better when it comes time to breastfeed.

…more Braxton Hicks contractions. They might be getting more intense.

…heartburn. Go ahead and pop an antacid.

…Enlarged breasts that may leak.

…Discharge to prepare for delivery by preventing infection in the birth canal.

Guess Baby's Birthday!

Bridgett's bundle of joy is due April 8th!

You know this game.  Some babies decide to arrive super early & some hate to leave the womb. Respond to this post with your guess on Baby Boy's date of arrival to the world outside of mommy's belly.  Winner(s) shall receive a small prize.

Week 31: What's Happening?

Baby’s…

…going through major brain and nerve development.
…going through eye development, too. His irises now react to light!
…all five of his senses are in working order.

Mommy’s experiencing…

…squished lungs, which can make her feel out of breath.

…dry, brittle nails, thanks to all that extra nail growth.

…Braxton Hicks contractions. She should be drinking plenty of water and changing positions often.

…leeky boobs. That’s baby’s first food at birth, called colostrums. Milk comes in a few days after birth.

…back aches. Bridgett needs to keep stretching.

…Difficulty sleeping. Aches and pains, a big belly, pregnancy hormones, heartburn and anxiety are probably contributing factors.
