Week 35
Baby says:
This week I am a coconut!
I can't believe that my third trimester has passed without a post! So much has happened, I can barely keep track. First, here is a review of some of the different fruits Sofia has been over the last few weeks:
 |
| An acorn squash |
 |
| A pineapple-- that doesn't seem particularly comfy... |
 |
| And a... jackfruit? What IS that even? And I thought having a pineapple inside me seemed unpleasant... |
|
Over the last few weeks while Sofia has been busy transforming into various spiny fruits, I too have been quite busy...
At 30 weeks, we had some maternity pictures taken by the fabulous and talented
Maritha in downtown Pasadena. I think they turned out quite nice. Here are a few of my favorites:
At 32 weeks, we had a baby shower! It was a joint effort between my mom and Pat, as well as Mani's Aunt Ester and cousins Erica and Susana. They did a fantastic job! I have to say I was completely blown away! I was especially touched by all of my friends and family who came, most of whom came from a great distance. My Aunt Trish and Uncle Chris came from Seattle, my high school teacher Betsy came from Orange County and my friend Lauren drove up from San Diego. I felt very loved.
 |
| We were so blessed-- Sofia has almost everything she needs plus clothes and diapers to last her at least a good six months! |
 |
| Beautiful diaper cake that a friend of my mother's from work donated to the event |
 |
| Mani was a good sport and played the clothespin game with us. Pat's daughter Kerri ended up winning-- 17 clothespins in one hand! |
 |
| Happy family! |
 |
| Here I am demonstrating a gift from Erica-- it's a bucket that keeps the shampoo out of baby's eyes during bath time |
 |
| Not sure why I am making this face, but I thought it was cute... |
And then this past two weeks, Mani and I have created a little nook for Sofia and organized her things, just in case she decides to arrive before we move.
Sofie, for her part, has been especially active lately, responding quickly to touch and getting especially excited at the sound of her father's voice. Sometimes her movements are so strong, I'm afraid she's just going to bust right out of there! It seems like she's saying, "I'm on my way, ready or not!"
