Dear Friends and Family,
Where are we at now? 36 down, 1 - 5 weeks to go. Entering week 37.
This week has been a lot easier on us emotionally. Working from home has helped a ton. And, another week down is another week closer to term.
No new symptoms to report. Overall, I can't complain. So far, the pregnancy hasn't been too rough for either Mr. mouse or me, and because Pioneer is so small I'm still physically comfortable. It is getting a little tougher to get out of bed in the morning, but nothing that's too much of a bother.
We go in for another doctor's appointment today - to see how Pioneer and the cervix are holding up.
Baby
Your baby is about 21 inches from head to toe and weighs almost 6.5 pounds. Baby is getting rounder every day, and skin is getting pinker and losing its wrinkly appearance. Baby's head is usually positioned down into the pelvis by now.
Mom-to-Be
Your uterus may stay the same size as it was for the last week or two. Your weight gain should be about as high as it will go, about 25 to 35 pounds. About this time, your doctor might perform a pelvic exam to help judge the progress of your pregnancy.
Tip for the Week
Just in case you deliver early, consider packing two bags for the hospital. Pack one bag for you, with warm socks, a robe, lip balm and everything you'll want during labor. Pack the other bag with the newborn items you'll want after your baby is born.
Cheers!
