This week the final touches are being added to your mini-masterpiece and most of his development is going to packing on the pounds. While baby's movements may be becoming less jerky, he may do his final somersault in the womb soon—to put himself into the head-down position for birth. Other fascinating facts:
Your little Karate Kid can't quite pack the punch he used to due to the limited space inside the womb these days. You're likely to feel more wiggles, stretches and rolls than kicks and jabs. The extra layer of fat your baby is adding will create those cute dimples on your baby's elbows and knees. His liver has begun processing his waste products, so you know which organ to thank when he has his first blowout up the back of his onesie.
Baby's nails are growing so long they may curl over the tips of his tiny fingers and toes before he sees a pair of clippers. He'll be in serious need of a mani-pedi once he's born (as will you).
Your baby is now about 5½ pounds and over 18 inches long—about the size of one of those price-club sheet cakes.
With Brady:
and Brady watching Shrek..
No news from us this week. We just had an appointment on Monday and baby is fine, still measuring a week behind but still growing. Dr did mention that the 2nd baby may likely be bigger--more than 8lb 8oz...oh my! He has quite the growing to do in the next few weeks. I believe that Brady was always measuring a week or so ahead during my pregnancy. He said that he will keep an eye on it and we should have a better idea in the coming weeks.
Bernie is on his last night of mids tonight, which is working overnight. I hate it. He comes home around 9am and sleeps until about 4, if possible. Has PT at 7 and back at work at 9pm. It has just been Brady and I this week for the most part.
We are having some of the platoon over tomorrow night for the basketball games, which is always a blast--hopefully Brady does awesome like he did last time and sleep through everything.
Bernie will be working the gates starting next week on day shift which starts at like 3am-9am and then PT after. I am not sure which is worse!? Be sure to send him some love...and some tips on naming his son ;)
Happy weekend!
