How our baby's growing:
I'm in the home stretch! The third and final trimester starts this week. If I'm like most women, I'll gain about 11 pounds this trimester. At this point, I'll visit my doctor every two weeks. Then, at 36 weeks, I'll switch to weekly visits until the little guy is born!
By this week, our baby weighs two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through my womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
We had another check up appointment today that went perfectly well. Baby's growing as he should be and has a heart rate of 155. Love hearing that little beating heart! My glucose test came back normal, so there is no chance of gestational diabetes for me... yea!
Sleeping (and other everyday things as well) is getting a little more tough with the big belly I'm getting. Plus, I happened to catch a sinus cold this weekend, so pray for fast healing, 'cause it's miserable not being able to breath let alone sleep well!
Baby furniture shopping this weekend is in the plans! Hopefully I'll have some pics to post up next week of our newly put together nursery! Can't wait!!
