My Pregnancy Brain: I am starting to feel overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I need to get done before ethan gets here. Luckily we got a lot done this week. we finally sanded and primed the crib. we would have painted it to but it started raining. I also finally made the bedding.

What the baby looks like this week: By now, he weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long. 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.

Pregnancy first this week: Is it possible for a fetus to claw his way out? cause it sure feels like it sometimes. This kid is doing cartwheels in there. But I love it.

My Pregnancy Brain: Starting to get worried about getting the nursery done it feels like I have so much to do and not enough time. 

Dr Visits: Had one this week, Finally. Everything looks good. I also got some good news, the hospital I'm delivering at has Tubs, and they will let me take off the monitors if everything is looking good.

What the baby looks like this week: He weighs about 3½ pounds and measures a little over 16 inches. From this week on, he will continue to gain around ½ pound a week until shortly before birth. He can now process information from all five senses. By now, your baby's lungs are the only system not fully mature. She can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin.

What the baby looks like this week: He is about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in my uterus. Is starting to get a little crowded in there, but still has room to wiggle and roll and punch and kick.

Big news for baby's brain this week: It's starting to to form Gyri and Sulci! This is due to the rapid growth of his little genius's brain cells. Other highlights this week: Fingernails and toenails are finally finished, Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now.

What the baby looks like this week: Is sucking up every drop of calcium I have as her bones continue to harden and become more bone-like. He now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. Due to the impressive advancements of medical technology, if Ethan was born this week, he'd have a 9 out of 10 chance of survival, which is seriously great news. Other awesome developments: His brain can now control his breathing and body temperature. He can also cough, and his sucking abilities have been perfected. Look out, boobs!

Dr Visits: Yep had my Glucose test! I didnt think the drink was that bad but maybe i'm just weird. Here's hoping I passed and dont have to do the 3 hour test. Other than that everything looks great!

Belly Shot:

What the baby looks like this week: Continues to get a longer and fatter by the day. His weight has actually doubled in the past month alone. Weight is around 2.5 pounds right now and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. His eyes have color now, too. It may not be the color he ultimately ends up with, especially if they're light gray or blue. The eyes typically don't settle on a final hue until nine months after baby is born.
