32 weeks

We are 80% of the way there!
By now, your baby weighs over 4.5 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 his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he 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. I had a dr's appt yesterday and everything was well. I got my flu shot, and we listened to the heart tones. So sweet, SaraBeth was with me, and she was so amazed. I go back to see Dr. Cole on Oct. 24 and will be well in to my 34th week. She will start checking me then, so we will see. Hopefully Mary Margaret will be making her arrival in approx. 5 weeks :)
