37 Weeks

 Update: I had an appointment on Monday and the Dr. went over my ultra sound from Friday. The baby is definitely measuring big and there is a slight increase in fluid so he wants to induce me in a week or so! I seriously was not expecting to hear that and about fell off the [...]

Baby’s Size…Weeks 37-40

How your baby’s growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, her lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 [...]

Just a little update…

 Today was my last ultra sound before we welcome our baby girl into the world! My mom went with me this time, and she was amazed. She had never seen an ultra sound before, which I didn’t know.
 It looks as though our little girl had a growth spurt and is now measuring a week ahead. [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 36

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She’s shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as [...]

Update: It’s official…she is locked in position and ready to go. Now all she has to do is start dropping, and we will have some progress (and I can breathe again). I don’t want her here just yet (she still has some growing to do), but please Lord let me have her before Thanksgiving! Hehe. [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 35

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that she’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it’s so snug in your womb, she isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain [...]

How far along? 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About 25-27 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Yes, but my shirts are getting short. Is it really worth buying more clothes for a month? Not really. I’ll just let my belly hang out
Sleep: If I work out or am busy, I sleep well. If I’m lazy all day, it is hard to get [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 34

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she’s born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is [...]
