By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds 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, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
Sunday we have "lamaze" class from 8 - 4. The night before is our second baby shower, so we'll see how well Dad handles the graphic movies! Someone might be a little under the weather!We had our first shower last Saturday. We still can't get over all the wonderful stuff we got! It was fun to pack it all away. We can't wait to start using it.
We are still undecided on a name. Last night he told me he's leaning towards three choices. We both decided that we have to decide before we go to the hospital. We don't want the extra stress of not having a name added to everything else already going on!
My next appointment is next Thursday at 33 weeks. I still can't believe I'm already this far along.
