Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. His hair is probably recognizable now (in color and texture), although both may change after he's born.
Last night we started childbirth classes. It was crowded! It was interesting because most people were having girls in there. We learned how to breathe through contractions, how to push (without really pushing), and talked about different medications we could take. Being there really made it all seem real and close- since it was all on what to do when you go into labor. I hadn't really thought about labor that much yet, but now when we have to- it makes it real.
I am feeling pretty good. Definitely growing- and people are funny about it. I have been having some back pain, peeing a ton, peeing when I sneeze :(, and having leg cramps. I am still on the medicine- I go off each weekend but then usually get sick around Sunday.
Drew has been reading to him every few nights, and it is so neat because now when Drew starts reading Brayden starts to kick. The books say that the baby starts to recognize people's voices, and is soothed by those same voices after they are born.

That's so sweet and wonderful that Drew is reading to baby Brayden! You are both ALREADY great parents! You make me SO proud to be your mom!
Isn't it amazing how they can already recognize your voice? The day he comes and you get to hold him, it's like he already knows that's his mommy :) I'm glad things are going so well for you all! The trip to the hospital will be here before you know it! Love you !
