BOY oh BOY---we are almost halfway there. Well actually, we are past halfway since I will be having a repeat c-section sometime in my 39th week. :) So congrats! You made it! :)
I will be going back to the doctor next Wednesday since I am now being seen every 3 weeks. :) Thanks placenta---i love you too! No really--it's not all that bad. I feel good and i'm just thankful the words bed rest haven't come out of the doctors mouth. (Knock on wood) Our next ultrasound isn't until January 6th so until then I will be willing my placenta to move by talking to it and praying. Please feel free to add my placenta to your prayer lists for the next month.
Now, onto Baby BOY V! :)
First--our little man's sensory development is exploding. His brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research says that he can now hear my voice which makes me excited. (Hi buddy---Mommy loves you!) They say he weighs about 8 1/2 oz and measures 6 inches from head to bottom or the size of a large heirloom tomato. His arms are now in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now and hair is now sprouting on his adorable little head. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is now forming on his skin to help prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid. What a busy week he is having! :)
I haven't taken any bump pictures this week yet, but rest assured it is still there and growing by the second. :)
Love and Ava hugs,
Rachel
