You've got this pregnancy thing down pat now: You feel good, you look great, you're eating well and drinking enough water. Everything is fabulous. It's like your birthday every day the way people fawn all over you, giving up their place in the bathroom line and so on. OK, so maybe that doesn't happen every day, but being pregnant makes you feel pretty special, even if that jerk on the bus didn't give up his seat for you.
Your baby's got a while to go before her lungs will be ready for air and is practicing her "breathing" on the amniotic fluid—sucking it in and out of her lungs. Other highlights this week:
Fat production is in overdrive at this point (for the baby, not you! Well, OK, maybe for the baby and you). Your baby will basically double in weight over the next four weeks! You'll be happy to know the same won't apply to you.
Your Mini is starting to look more like a newborn as her skin becomes less see-through. Her body is looking more proportional now, although her head is still kinda big compared to her cute little body.
Your baby is about 11½ inches long and weighs 1 pound, or about the length and weight of a Harry Potter book.
Wow... I love that they compare my baby's length & weight to a Harry Potter book, that's awesome! (:
This week has been not very good to me due to congestion and what not in my sinuses and chest. I have not really been sleeping that well, and on the weekends and days I stay home from work, I try to nap as much as possible. I am starting to be a little more lazy than usual but I still get things done around the house. Just not on a daily basis!
This coming weekend we are going shopping for nursery furniture and to register for baby gifts! I'm so excited to go and pick out things for Baby Ryan! Although everything I register for will be kind of gender neutral so that we can use them all for more than one of my babies! (I plan on having more one day!) Also, I have booked my maternity photos for May! I'm so excited!
