Well I thought I would post what is happening with the baby for the week!! This week has been an amazing weeek, we are finally feeling the baby move. Now that I can feel it, I don't think it ever stops moving especially at night when I am trying to fall asleep. Brian was able to feel it last Sunday, he put his hand on my belly and the baby kicked him twice, he was pretty amazed by that!!!

Story time: "My favorite sound is my mother's voice when she sings or talks to me." Now that bones in her ears have hardened, your baby can hear you and prefers your voice to any other sound. Give her a daily treat by reading, talking, or singing to her. If you feel silly reading to your belly, remember that the more your baby hears your voice, the more familiar it will be to her when she's born. I think I might have to get some baby books and start reading to the baby.
Super sac: The amniotic fluid that surrounds your baby is the perfect place for her to grow into a healthy newborn. The salty fluid keeps her warm, protects her from infections, and is buoyant enough for her to exercise her developing body. Right now the amniotic sac contains about a pint of fluid, which is refreshed every three to four hours. The baby should be a very muscular baby with all the exercising that is going on in my belly!!!
Measuring up: Your baby looks like a tiny, thin newborn. She now weighs close to 1 pound and measures 9 to 10 inches, about the length of a Barbie doll.
A Major Cord:The umbilical cord is the lifeline of nutrition, carrying nutrient-rich blood back and forth from the placenta. Babies will grab the cord, twist it around, and sometimes get tangled up in it. If the cord is wrapped around the neck at birth (called nuchal cord), it will need to be slipped over the head (reduced).
