35 WEEK UPDATE/PLUS OB DOC. UPDATE

I went to get my 2nd ultrasound yesterday. Mom and Zach were there with me. I measured two weeks smaller 2 weeks ago, so Dr. Edwards ordered another ultrasound for me. She weighs 4lbs. and 13 oz. as of yesterday. I measured 34 weeks, and my ultrasound measured 35 weeks. So, I may be having a little petite baby. I guess she will take after her Mee Mee or Uncle Jarrett, b/c Zach and I are NOT petite. I can't wait to meet her. So thankful that my ultrasound went well!!








35 week update per BabyCenter.com:
Tate doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in my womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

CORE GROUP BABY SHOWER

PERFUME AND INCENSE BRING JOY TO THE HEART, AND THE PLEASANTNESS OF ONE'S FRIEND SPRINGS FROM HIS EARNEST COUNSEL. PROVERBS 27:9

The girls from my Core group had a baby shower for me at Ashley's new house. It was so much fun. I received some great gifts, and can't wait for Tate to see them. I'm so thankful that these girls have come into my life. I really enjoy my time with them. I can't wait for the memories we will make in the years to come.

CHURCH BABY SHOWER/GUNTERSVILLE DIAPER SHOWER

My church baby shower was awesome! Tate got so many wonderful things. We are so blessed to have such a great church family and friends. Thank you to everyone who put my shower together!! I had so much fun!

We also had a diaper shower in Guntersville at Zach's parents house. Even though there were tornado warnings everywhere, we had a great turn out! We received tons of diapers and wipes! We are so blessed to have such a great start!! We really had a great time. Thanks to Zach's family!

ZACH'S AND MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

Zach and I celebrated our one year anniversary in Guntersville, AL this year. We ate Mexican, and finally got to eat our cake topper! It was a sad weekend b/c Zach's grandfather was in the ICU, and Zach was so sad. Now Zach's Paw Paw is in heaven having a great time with Jesus. We sure do miss him!

Easter 2010

32 weeks!!!

About Tate McKinlee:
By now, Tate weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama(see above picture)) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in my uterus. I'm gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to baby Tate. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

About me:
I'm feeling great!! I have less energy now than I have had lately, and can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I get uncomfortable very easy. I'm always short of breath, and it's hard to bend over!! I definitely can't miss my acid reflux medicine b/c I'll be breathing fire. =) I just can't wait to meet this little kicker in my tummy. My nursery should be put together soon. Mom is distressing two antique pieces for the nursery. Thanks Mom!! Hope to be posting pics soon!
