We had an appointment with Betty on Thursday, we'll be on the weekly plan from here on out. Everything was good. She was measuring right on schedule- 34cm. Betty estimated her weight at about 5lbs and said she's head down- hopefully she'll stay that way. She's still very busy in there. I know it's normal to start feeling a little less movement around this time, but so far she seems more active than ever. I like to have music playing on the laptop anytime I'm on it and she seems to really respond to that. She almost always starts wigglying around as soon as the music starts. And if I'm singing along, she's even more active. I guess we won't be soothing this baby with music!
This week's update:
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
