33 Weeks

We have hit 33 weeks now! Hard to believe.  We have had a very busy week!  We got hit by yet another snowstorm this week.  Micah absolutely loves playing in the snow with Daddy.  Next winter, we are definitely investing in waterproof gloves that actually fit his little hands.

 Unfortunately, he couldn't play very much in the snow this week because he has been sick.  We actually had to run out in between storms to get him to a doctor because he wasn't doing good.

The poor little guy has a double ear infection and a viral cold.  The cough is finally slowing down and he seems to be getting better.  Antibiotics definitely help.
Luckily the weather cleared up for Valentines Day, so my boys took me to Greg's Art and Pottery.  It's a paint your own pottery store in Downtown Fayetteville.  Micah picked out a puppy to paint and Brandon made me a vase.

I was so impressed how great Micah did at it.  He was so focused on it.  I can't wait to pick it up and see how nice it looks.  After painting, we went to Bumbledoo which is our local cloth diaper/baby store and picked up a few more things that we needed and then it was to Red Robin for dinner.
As of Saturday, Micah is cloth diapered during the day.  We are waiting for some more diapers to come in the mail, so we can only do daytime right now but he is loving it.  On Saturday, Brandon also went to Lowe's and got everything and made us a diaper sprayer.  We decided we could cloth diaper as long as we had a diaper sprayer.  So far we have all really been enjoying it.  Hopefully it continues to work as well as it has been so far.
I have a list of things that we still need for Baby Ferraro, and Saturday and today we have been slowly working on cutting that list down.  We are getting close to being done!
This week is already 33 weeks! My c-section is scheduled at 39 weeks so it is only 40 days or less until his arrival!  Baby Ferraro is the size of a durian, which I have no idea what that is.  He is somewhere between 4.2 and 5.8 pounds now, which just seems so big!  He is between 17.2 and 18.7 inches long and he will grow up to an entire inch this week.  Micah was 20 inches when he was born, so this little one is almost at full birth height.  He now keeps his eyes open when he's awake, his bones are hardening and his brain is going through major development.
I'm trying to slowly prepare for his arrival, but also balance enjoying every moment I can with our family of three right now.
