Thirty-Four Weeks

This week: According to the pregnancy app on my phone, Wolverine Baby is almost 18 inches long and weighs probably 4.75 pounds. Based on her knees under my ribs and other body parts of hers that seem to be poking out, I would guess that she's going to be a very long baby.  18 inches seems a little short... :)

Development: This week, she's putting on layers of fat, and her central nervous system and lungs are continuing to develop.  And now, her eyes are open while she's awake (and closed while she's asleep).

Are you craving anything? Water.  I'm thirsty all the time.

Is there any food that turns you off? Spicy foods.

How do you feel? So, so tired.  Also, I feel heavy, swollen, and grace-less.

How is your sleep? Not great.  It's hard to get comfortable.  And once I get comfortable, I have to get up to use the bathroom.

Most surprising thing you've noticed or experienced: How when I try to take a very deep breath or when I slouch to reach something at my feet while sitting, her little knee bones crunch against my ribs.  It hurts, and it's kind of scary because I'm worried that I've hurt her.

Something you're surprised you haven't noticed or experienced: More discernible body parts of hers. People keep telling me about feeling or seeing hands or feet.  So far, it all just seems like lumps of different sizes.

Favorite/most comfortable article of clothing: Anything that fits.

How is Ray doing? He is good but very busy with work.
