34 weeks yesterday! Have had a busy week at work AND just found out that my MOMMY and grandmother are coming this weekend! Surprise visit for my shower!!! I am so excited, I cried when Mom told me over the phone. I can't wait to see them.
I just uploaded this picture and can't believe how big I look. He is really getting big, I can feel him all the time. Getting so, so excited... can't belive that it could technically be any time now!
I hope he stays put until 37 weeks, when we are considered full term. Any time after that, we would be thrilled for him to "get here!"
Off to our last baby class tonight at the hospital.
Hope everyone has a great week and weekend...
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
