Baby Girl Week 39

Happy Easter!

Baby girl is now most likely over 7 pounds, the size of a small watermelon. She is still head down which is fantastic. I am so uncomfortable and ready to have this little girl. When walking I waddle like a penguin. I am working on finishing those last few things I want to accomplice before baby arrives.

Baby Girl Week 38

Baby girl is around or maybe slightly over 7 pounds. She has most likely hit her max height by now. Her digestive system has not fully developed, because she has not yet begun processing food. She is still head down which is really good.  She gets the hiccups at least once a day which is always such a weird feeling.
I am getting so so uncomfortable. Sleeping is hard, walking is hard, and carrying David around is almost impossible.

Baby Girl Week 37

Baby girl is most likely around 6 and a 1/2 pounds.  Most babies put on 1/2 pound of pure baby chub a week until they are born. In preparation of being born, she continues to practice breathing, moving around, sucking her thumb, and blinking. She gets hiccups about once a day and is steadily trying to push her way out of my belly. I have finished packing the hospital bags for baby girl and me.

Baby Girl Week 36

Baby girl is around 6 pounds. Nothing much is happening except that she is rapidly gaining weight. I am getting very uncomfortable and tying my shoes is almost impossible (thank heaven for flip flops). She has found a spot in my ribs that she loves to kick and it is always the same spot which hurts pretty bad. She really hates it when I sit in the car and makes her displeasure known.

Baby Girl Week 35

Baby girl is getting big, at this point babies are gaining weight at different speeds so its hard to know exactly what she weights at this point but probably over 5 pounds. Since most of her organs are fully functional and major developmental milestones behind her, the next month is all about weight gain. She is currently head down and all fingers crossed that she stays that way.

Baby Girl Week 34

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Baby girl is over 4 pounds. Finger nails and toenails are well-formed and may often grow up from the nail bed to reach the tip of the fingers and toes. She can now open and close her eyes and some research shows that her pupils constrict when exposed to bright lights.

Baby Girl Week 33

Baby girl is about 4 pounds and the size of a pineapple. The babies skeleton is hardening except the skull which remains soft and flexible to fit through the birth canal.
