Week 34

Fruit/Veggie/Item

weight of a cantaloupe!

Size

4 3/4 pounds and almost 18 inches long!

Baby Changes (Source: www.babycenter.com)

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous aboutpreterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

Best Moment this Week

I will go back to the doctor again on March 22nd, but my guess is that I've gained about 29 pounds.

To Do

• -rearrange/settle nursery furniture after glider/ottoman is recovered (I bought a glider/ottoman from a friend, repainted it, and now am waiting to get the cushions back with their new light pink fabric!)
• -scrapbook my pregnancy
• -continue filling out Sawyer's baby book
• -hang Sawyer's curtain and things on the wall in the nursery
• -get both cars detailed and washed - got myself a new car that is as clean as it gets, so unless it gets dirty, one car is done!
• -clean out the garage - check!
• -wash Sawyer's sheets and clothes
• -get carpet cleaned at home
• -have garage sale
• -pack hospital bag :)

I think I'm getting quite large - she's really starting to poke out there, don't you think?!
