How Big Is Jude This Week?
Your baby is proportioned like a pineapple when it comes to weight -- a little over 4 pounds. Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and his brain is developing like crazy. Pretty soon, he'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, his bones are hardening, and he's started to keep his eyes open when he's awake.
How Big Is Mommy This Week?
So... we had a 3D/4D ultrasound on Sat the 31st. It was AWFUL! Jude had his hand covering his face the whole time. This wasn't what was awful though. When the technician saw that his face was covered, she spent the entire time pushing on my stomach, making me roll onto my side, stand up, sit up etc to get him to move his arm. She physically hurt me pushing on my stomach. And I spent so much time moving from position to position that I wasn't able to just sit back and enjoy watching him. I was soo upset that she may have hurt my sweet boy that when I left, I fell on the stairs. I fell on my butt and Jude is fine but I hurt my foot. Once I got home, I looked at the CD of pictures they gave us and they were HORRIBLE. Usually the technician will clean up the pictures by darkening them or lightening them or cropping them but she was so rushed that she didn't do any of that. They all literally looked like blobs. I ended up complaining and they are going to refund my full price paid. It definitely makes me feel better because it was very expensive and we don't have money to throw around. It was nice, however, to see him yawn. That was definitely cool. And we also confirmed that he is head down and his butt and feet are in my ribs =) I definitely knew that before the sonogram though.
