How your baby's growing: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm 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.I am very happy to have made it to 34 weeks! This is a big benchmark week, as most babies don't have many issues if they are born at this point. Each week means so much more now... on to 35!
Oh, you look great, too! I love your hair in that picture :)

ReplyDeletesorry i emailed you right before the post! but glad to know you're doing okay.
What a refreshing perspective as opposed to the "I hate being pregnant, I can't wait to have this baby out of my body" perspective. Good for you, I've been thinking about you!
ReplyDeleteKatrina you are so stinkin cute! I am glad you are doing so well and that Baby Asher is staying put! Wouldn't it be funny if he went to like 41 weeks now after all this. Hang in there.
