34 week update

*How far along?: 34 weeks
*How big is baby?: 19-22 inches, 5.5 pounds (Wow - if this is accurate, He is already bigger than Noah when he was born)
*Sleep?: I've been sick this week so not so good. But that's not because of pregnancy. I can't stop coughing so I have to sit straight up to sleep.
*Stretchmarks?: They are taking over my body.
*Movement?: Is simply amazing. Jimmy makes me so happy these days. He always has his hand or head pressed against my belly to feel the movements.
*Food cravings?: Frosties from Wendy's. Helps my sore throat!
*Labor signs?: Nope- let's keep it that way for at least 3 more weeks!
*Belly button in or out?: In- doubt it'll ever pop out.
*What I miss: Standing up without a struggle.
*What I'm looking forward to: My crib bedding coming in.
*Milestone: If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.


How Big Is Jude This Week?


Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Baby can recognize and react to simple songs...time to start practicing your lullabies! In fact, baby will recognize frequently sung tunes after birth and probably find them soothing. Less cute news: He now urinates about one pint per day. Get the diapers ready!
