phew. 3rd tri happened this week. finally. i could feel time just come to screechin ghalt though. last week was insanely hot and my ankles felt it....the swelling was not fun! we also started birthing class this week...they really really pushed natural labor which is GREAT! I was so worried that they'd really like epi's and i did not want that. they talked about multiple birthing positions and these cool lights they have in the ceiling that reflect images of things, like an ocean scene and palm trees. hopefully all goes well so that i will be able to move around and the such. my BP is still being strange so we'll see....the nurses all seemed extremely nice though, which is important!
Your Baby
Baby's lungs and immune system are maturing this week as baby prepares for his grand entrance. If he were born today he would have an 85 percent chance of surviving as his lungs are capable of breathing air (with medical assistance, of course). Other exciting developments:
Baby's done a lot of growing over the past few months. His length has more than doubled in the past 15 weeks! And that's not the only thing growing—baby's brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace. His brain waves are now firing away just like those of a newborn baby. If baby is a he, his testes will have completely descended at this point.
Your baby now weighs in at approximately 14½ inches and just over 2 pounds, or about the size of that roast you made last time your in-laws were in town. (OK, the baby is the size of that roast you meant to cook before you decided that ordering Chinese was a much better idea.)
