34 Weeks!

34 Weeks!!  YAY!  Things are really starting to fly by now!  This week we got alot done!  We got our carseat put in and checked, Timmy got the trim up in the baby's room, we got the crib, dresser, and changing table all put together.  We also got some plastic drawers for the bathroom stuff (wash clothes and towels and baby's soap)  Finished my goal of 30 freezer meals.  I also got our hopital bag all packed...
Here is what I'm bringing:                                                       
Hair band/ties and brush
Folder w/ insurance info, and other important papers
Snacks for daddy 
Tyenol for daddy
Slippers/socks
Lots of chapstick
Camera w/ extra batteries and memory card
Nursing gown, tanks, bras, cream, soothies and pads
Underwear and socks
Shampoo/toothbrush/soap/deorderant/facewash..etc
Cards/games
Flipflops for the shower
PJ pants
Eye mask
Phone chargers
Pillow
Laptop/charger
Clothes for dad
For Baby:
Carseat,base, and cover
Blankets
Going home outfits w/ Hats (in a few different sizes)
Socks for his hands
A big burp cloth so we can take it home to Chase to get used to his smell
Nail file


Its two bags, and the bold stuff are for L&D.  Now left to do on the list is to decorate the baby's room (put all the wall hangings, etc) and since baby will be in our room for the first few months, I want to get some more plastic drawers to keep his NB and 0-3 months clothes in our room.  We need to finish up our classes (we have them at the end of the month).  Tim will put shelves up in the closet of the baby's room and I will be able to put some of the stuff up there and then we just need to wait for our LO to finish up! 
Here is whats going on with the baby at 34 weeks:

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers – which he'll need to regulate his body temperature once he's born – are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

And me:
