33 weeks baby!

Woo Hooo 33 weeks! I am feeling a slight bit more energetic. Especially when the sun is out. The rain has been killing me. All I wanted to do was sleep and eat.I have an appointment next Thursday. This one will be with Crockett. I am excited to get to know her better and allow her to deliver my baby. I was sad that Kathy will not be able to but that is the breaks I guess. As long as someone is there I am good. Corbin is still getting the hiccups often, kicking me strongly and moving around alot. We really have enjoyed feeling him and even seeing his strong movements. He is going to be a strong baby. 7 weeks to go. Wow it's coming fast. 

33 weeks..........
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

31 and 32 weeks

Everything is going great. I am starting to feel more pressure and his hiccups are low in my pelvic area. I get these little sensations that hurt down there. Kathy said it is normal. I figured. I feel good. So I would think things are fine. Kathy is leaving the clinic and now I will have to see the ob Crockett. She is in a cast I hope she can deliver me. It's in eight weeks so I would think so........Oh well someone will. I am not going to stress about it. 

31 weeks which I missed writing about

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

32 weeks.............

By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

30 weeks.............

We are coming to the end of this pregnancy. Today I found out I gained a pound of positive weight. I lost 26 pounds in the first three months. I have all the back plus one. Very glad. Corbin is also head down. No wonder I feel those little hiccups so low. I am feeling pretty good. I have aches and pains but that is normal. Especially with the head down position. He is growing well and I look good. 

At 30 weeks you can expect..............

our baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.).
