29wks
29wks
29 weeks done, 11 to go!! Time is a flying by!!! I cannot wait, I'm getting more and more anxious and excited to meet Miss Claire!
Symptoms: Fatigue, harder time breathing , bladder pressure (she's head down), frequent urination, leg cramps still, back aches, and some headaches, heartburn, that's basically it!
Cravings: Pineapple, Mexican Food, Salsa, Chocolate covered Raisins
Your baby is as big as a butternut squash, weight wise -- about 2 1/2 pounds. (Length: a tad over 15 inches, head to heel.)
*Your baby's head is in proportion with body now. She appears more like a newborn each and every day!
* Fat continues to accumulate under the skin -- only now preparing for entering the *real world*.
* Your baby's brain can control primitive breathing and body temperatures.
* Her eyes can move in their sockets. Soon she will be able to follow a blinking light.
* Your baby is increasingly sensitive to changes in light, sound, taste, and smell! Various studies show that your baby may indicate preferences (or disdain) for particular tastes or odors at this stage
* Her length is now approximately 15.2 inches (38.6cm) and weight is 2.54 pounds (1153gm) about the size of a butternut squash.

Back from the dr
I had my OB Check up this morning and everything went great. Claire's heart beat is 147 beats per minute, my blood pressure great, no dilation so i go back in 2wks for my next ob check up and an ultrasound to check Claire's weight!
We go this Saturday the 28th to Peek~a~Baby for our 3d/4d Ultrasound. We can't wait to see Miss Claire and what she looks like. They will be doing a 15-20 min. 3D/4D Ultrasound Session which we will get 10-25 Images on CD with 1-2 4D video segments. So when we get home i'll be sending out ultrasound photos and hopefully videos of Miss Claire.
I'm going to have to get out Miss Chloie's 3d Ultrasound pics to compare!

28wks
Woohoo!!!! 84 days left give or take!! Can't wait!!!Symptoms: Major fatigue, major heartburn, frequent urination, increased hunger.
Cravings: Cheese Enchiladas & Pineapple
Week Twenty-Eight
* Your baby weighs in now at 2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm). She's about the size of a Chinese cabbage.
* Eyebrows and eyelashes are now very noticeable!* Hair on baby's head is growing longer. Some babies are born with almost none at all, while others appear to be ready for their first haircut!
* Eyes are completely formed now. Quite a view from inside!
* Your baby's body is getting plump and rounded. Most of that increase is muscle tissue and bone. Fat will be added during the third trimester.
* Muscle tone is improving. Preparation for the Olympics feels like it is taking place in your womb!
* Lungs are capable of breathing now (but baby would still struggle and require medical attention if born now)
* Talk to your baby often, reading stories, singing songs and more. She can recognize your voice now and will often calm to it later on!

27 weeks
I'm 27 weeks today~!! 13 to go!! 91 days left give or take!! My next dr appt is Feb. 24th. My last dr appt i had to do the glucose test. I passed.
Symptoms:
Fatigue, heartburn, leg cramps, headaches, backaches and frequent potty trips
27 Weeks
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.
Week Twenty-Seven
* Your little one's brain continues its rapid growth. Don't forget to share music, conversation, and even books with your baby!
* Response to sound grows more consistent toward the end of the seventh month, when the network of nerves to the ear is complete. Your baby's hearing continues to develop, he or she may start to recognize your voice as well as your partner's.
* Lungs continue to grow and prepare for functioning outside of the womb. Each day in the womb greatly increases survival rates!
* She also continues to take small breaths and although he's only breathing in water and not air, it's still good practice for when he's born.
* Eyelids are now open more. Your baby can distinguish between light and dark.
* She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals
* Retinas have formed.
* Average size is now 14.4 inches (36.6cm) and 1.9 pound (875gm).

26 Weeks
I'm 26wks today and down to double digits! Only 97 days to go!
Symptoms: I am a bottomless pit, usually always hot, fatigue, still feeling her move usually early in the AM or late in the PM or after eating/drinking something she likes/dislikes can't tell which yet, nesting instincts, bad charlie horses and frequent trips to the ladies room.
Cravings: Pasta, Strawberry Smoothies and finally Chocolate!
Your baby is as tall as an English hothouse cucumber and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds. (Length: 14 inches, head to heel.)
* Your baby may weigh about two pounds now (average is 1.7 pound, 760gm) and is 14 inches (35.6cm) in length
* To support the fetus's growing body, the spine is getting stronger and more supple. Though no longer than the span of the average adult hand, it is now made up of 150 joints, 33 rings, and some 1,000 ligaments.
* Air sacs in the lungs form now.
* Lungs begin to secrete a greasy substance called surfactant. Without surfactant the fetal lungs would stick together and couldn't expand after the baby is born.
* Although they've been sealed shut for the last few months, your baby's eyes are opening and beginning to blink this week. Depending on ethnicity, some babies will be born with blue or gray-blue eyes (which may change color in the first 6 months of life) and some will be born with brown or dark eyes.
* Retinas begin to form.
* Brain wave activity for hearing and sight begins to be detectable.
* Fetal brain scans show response to touch. If you shine a light on your abdomen, your baby will turn his head, which according to researchers, means his optic nerve is working.
