Dear Friends and Family,
Where are we at now? 32 down, 5 - 10 weeks to go. Entering week 33.
Pioneer hit a new milestone today. Not that there's a day by day difference. Actually, there is, but that's not the point here. The point is there is a huge week by week difference. And, the difference between now and two weeks ago when they first noticed I was dilated is huge. Pioneer's been making strides in brain development and lung development. And, the past two weeks have been critical in that sense. So, now, with marginally less anxiety, I'm approaching the next two weeks. Then, I'll count down three more weeks and then the last three.
Pioneer's been growing. Still kicking and jabbing with a lot less rolling. I've been having more burping lately. Part of that may be the fact that I've had two work dinners this week which always fill my stomach. And, it's getting tougher to get up without pushing off with my arms.
Baby
Your baby measures about 19.4 inches from head to toe and weighs about 4.4 pounds. The next few weeks will mark lots of growth in the baby. The fetus will gain more than half its birth weight in the next seven weeks. Baby begins to move less now as it runs out of room and curls up with knees bent, chin resting on chest and arms and legs crossed.
Mom-to-Be
The uterus is about 5.2 inches above your navel, and you've gained between 22 and 28 pounds. Of the pound a week you're gaining now, roughly half is going to your baby.
Tip for the Week
It's medically safe to continue having sex with your partner, but you may be too uncomfortable. Talk with your spouse about other ways to remain intimate, including backrubs and foot massages.
Cheers!
