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.
