Week 35


What’s Will up to? According to babyzone, baby weighs more than five pounds this week. He's huge! You're huge! (But neither of you is quite there yet.) Although his lungs are not completely ready for life outside the womb, his kidneys have had lots of practice excreting urine; his liver is producing bile; his heartbeat is strong and regular. His brain, which weighs about two-thirds of what it will at birth, is growing furiously as he also (you guessed it) continues to put weight on the rest of his body.

Appointments: On 5.29.12 and 6.1.12 we had had a routine BPP ultrasounds – everything looks great!

Bed Rest: 10 weeks at home on full bed rest, 7 weeks in the hospital on full bed rest and 2 week at home on partial bed rest. 19 weeks total survived!! 1 more week of partial and then I can do what my body can handle which is probably not much more than I have already been doing. I will try to take small walks when Chris can be with me.

Highlights: Completing the nursery, well as complete as it will be before Will comes home. Went to a movie, we saw What to Expect When Expecting – it was pretty funny but the previews gave away most of the funny parts.

All about me: I am up a total of 24 pounds and 14“ on my tummy and I am feeling great!
