Hard to believe, huh? Yep, that's right though! Only 11 weeks left before our expected big day. As of today, I am 29 weeks and 3 days pregnant, which translates to about a week or so over 7 months.
So, how is little Waverly doing? According to the research, her brain is now developed enough to control her breathing and body temperature. She can also cough, and her sucking ability has been perfected. Prepare the pacifier!
She is starting to look less skeletal as she packs on the pounds. She's now beefing up on the energizing and insulating white fat that she'll be born with (too bad white fat isn't energizing for us adults!). This week, Waverly should be about 15 inches long, which is about the length of a loaf of bread. She should weigh in at about 3 pounds - as much as a Macbook Air laptop!
Waverly has a lot of energy. She practices her kicks, punches and elbows mostly at night, but anytime I lay down for rest, she gets going. Our little energizer bunny is making the most of her rest time by really moving around when she's awake.
Well, mom is doing well too! I am having some trouble keeping a good sleep schedule right now. Usually, the baby wakes me up in the middle of the night for a potty break and a snack. For the past week or so, she's been waking me up about 5:00 AM! That's all fine and dandy, but the 2:00 AM break allowed me to go back to sleep for awhile. Now I just have to lay there until time to actually wake up.
My blood sugar appears to be good. I test it every morning on an empty stomach and then again 2 hours after each meal. As far as the meal plan goes, I just try to eat some fruit and veggies every day. I try not to overeat and get in a couple of snacks in between meals. Over the past week, my sugar levels have been within the normal range.
Otherwise, all is well. We just keep growing bigger and bigger. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for this coming Friday, so we'll see how much weight gain since the last appointment. More then!
