Nick and I are so excited to have finally started a place for everyone to come see our updates on baby Makayla. I know that we have not been the best at keeping everyone informed but this should help. We are so happy about our newest addition to our family Makayla Rose Johnson and can't wait to share everything with you.

32 WEEKS, less than two months to go!

She's becoming quite a big baby, your little one! She's about 16.7 inches long and almost 4 pounds now. Your child is so big now that the space in which she moves is very limited. She can't make any more major movements - a final turn-around before she engages, at the most. But he can still prod, push and kick. However, once he engages, he will no longer change his position. Sometimes you can feel the engagement. At that time, you will get a heavy feeling in your vagina and some women have contractions for a brief while. After the baby engages, you will have more air and space in the upper part of the uterus. The lack of pressure on your ribcage is a huge relief - you can take a deep breath for the first time in weeks!

~I can tell you the pressure and pain Makayla is causing in my ribs is not what I expected. Wow does she kick! I push on her feet and bottom to get her to move down and the second I let get go back up she goes. Oh well, were not that far away from D-day lol.
