If I'm going to be 8-10 days early in delivering this baby just like my first 2, that means I only have at least 6 weeks to go. I am excited! I really am but I can't help but feel sad as well. If I can, I'd love to stay pregnant for a while but just like what they say, be careful with what you wish for! My belly is getting heavier now and it's getting hard for me to finish my chores on schedule. Twice this week, I felt like my skin is going to tear up while the baby moves around. I was so scared that I had to hold my belly together, so all I did was sit or lay down. Other than that, I'm doing fine and getting bigger of course.
I had my appointment this week and thank God, I only gained 1.5lbs in 2 weeks! Amazing! I still can't believe how that happened. I am so happy but I'm wondering if my body just didn't absorb the fats fast enough to gain more weight in 2 weeks. I could gain more in the next 2weeks. I just hope I'm wrong because after knowing that I only gained that much weight, I ate a lot of sweets again, lol! Baby's heart rate is 154 this time. We had our first Christmas party for this year held last Dec 1st at the lovely home of hubby's boss. I pigged out on a lot of yummy stuffs there so that's another reason to gain more weight, lol! Well, that's it for this week. Will keep you posted so stay tuned!
How my baby's growing:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
