This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
What's happening on the outside:
Yep, she's moving around a lot. She actually had me laughing at work today because she just wouldn't stop moving! It was a very nice distraction! We've registered for our classes at the hospital for December (things like 'tour of the hospital', 'daddy boot-camp', and 'child birth preparation'). Should be interesting! I've been of the the mindset of 'not knowing is a good thing', but supposably there are a few things that I should know and be prepared for . . ."they say".
The websites say I should be getting leg cramps and back aches around now, but I haven't had either yet (knock wood). Still feeling pretty normal/great. Hope it lasts!
Miss Apple also got her first piece of real mail this week. I'm attaching a photo!
Another package will be going out this week....Grandma has to stay out of the stores!!!
