We're getting closer by the day. Only 8 more weeks of baking, and this bun is coming out!
This week I am approximately 16 inches long and about 3 1/2 pounds. This sounds huge compared to some of the old measurements in past blog posts. Relativly speaking though, I'm still pretty small. From this week on I will continue to gain about 1/2 pound every week until I'm born. Due to the cramped quarters in here, I am now fully drawn up in the fetal position. Mommy is still feeling plenty of movement from me, but now that I'm getting bigger, it's harder for me to move a whole lot. I can now use all 5 of my senses. My lungs are the only system not fully mature. The longer I can stay in here the better I will be able to breathe when I come out. And who doesn't love to hear that little scream when a baby makes his or her entrance into the world?!
On the home front, Mommy is on antibiotics for a sinus infection and urinary infection. It's a good thing they caught the urinary infection because left untreated that could have sent her into early labor. Tomorrow morning Mommy has to take Daddy up to Davenport for his third colonoscopy of the last year and a half. Poor guy. Hopefully the doctors will finally figure out his problem. No doctor appointments for Mommy and me this week, but next week starts our twice a week jaunts to Davenport.
