Dear Gracyn,
I can't believe that Mommy is 8 months pregnant with you already. Time is flying by! To be honest with you, this is the first summer that I have wished away.....Which is unusual since I LOVE SUMMER and my time off here and there while the students and teachers are out of the school building. Speaking of school, one day you will be a student in my school.....I can't wait. I loved being your Mommy and Aunt Courtney's principal and one day I can't wait to be yours!!!!! I've promised Mommy that I will wait to retire once you are through the elementary building.
By now, I am guessing you weigh close to 5 lbs. since you were weighing close to the 3.75 lbs. suggested on BabyCenter.com, 3 weeks ago!. You are probably around 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your Mommy's uterus. Mommy will likely gain about a pound a week and roughly half of that is due to your growth now until birth! In fact, you'll gain a third of your birth weight
during the next 7 weeks as you fatten up for survival outside the womb! You now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (We saw hair during the 28 week ultrasound!). Your skin is becoming soft and smooth as you
plump up in preparation for birth.
I love you sweet Gracyn!
Love Grandma Dason
