Baby on Board - and heading to Panama!

Say a prayer for us to have a safe trip as we head to Panama for Jorge's and Schana's wedding!
We had a doctor's appointment today and she wrote us a formal letter stating that I am in great health and cleared for air travel. We are so excited about the trip - it will be one last, short vacation before the baby arrives. Today we are officially 32 weeks pregnant - so we are just 4 weeks away from being full-term and the expected due date is less than 2 months away!

As of now, most people are gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. I gained one pound in the last 2 weeks and 2 days. The baby will gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.

Look for pictures from the trip next week!
