The baby can probably hear now and is comforted by the sound of your heartbeat and your voice. Encourage your loved ones to talk to the baby and let him know how much he is loved already.
Colorless eyebrows and eyelashes have now appeared and the hair on the head is getting thicker.
Speaking of hair, a very fine down, known as lanugo is now covering the baby's entire body. Most of this will disappear before his birth.
The baby's heart is pumping the equivalent of about 25 quarts of blood a day.
The scalp hair pattern is developing. If you could see it you would already be able to tell if he got Daddy's cowlick.Isn't that SO exciting!!! The baby can hear now?!?!? That truly makes my heart fly!!! Especially since Dan was just loving on that baby today and talking to him asking if he could hear him! Pregnancy is SO awesome! I can't believe all these things are happening inside of me. God is so good. I am loving every minute of being pregnant. It's unbelievable. I don't even want to think of a time when I am not pregnant, isn't that silly?
I am feeling a lot better! I still have waves of nausea, but accompanied with that I also have times where I feel like my old self. I am eating a lot more and throwing up a lot less. I am pretty sure that it has been 9 DAYS since I last threw up! HALLELUJAH! I started wearing maternity clothes the week of Thanksgiving when I was home in Michigan. Oh did I underestimate the comfort of maternity clothes! I could live in the maternity pants I bought. I also purchased the belly band so I can still wear my old jeans, albeit not as wonderful as those maternity pants. I'm going to wait til I'm a bit bigger to purchase more.
We took more belly pictures today, I will post soon hopefully. Our computer, as always is on the fritz, and it takes me 30-45 minutes to upload one picture. That is if it doesn't start shutting down in the process. :( I just want to throw it out the window, but Dan won't let me. So maybe I'll be able to get them up here on Thursday.
I need to figure out my exact dates here soon. Everyone is confusing me. The Perinatalogist measures me and says that I am measuring small and am a few days behind what I am supposed to be. Which he says is no big deal. Then the Midwives told me that my original dates were correct and that my measurements are right on target. ??? So what do I go by? Do I stick with my original dates? Or do I say I am only as far along as I am measuring? Sigh.
I have started looking at baby boy nursery themes online! This is a very fun and exhausting process. There are so many options! I can't wait for our next scan so I can start shopping already!!
BELLY!
Doh!! You can't tease and say, "Oh, I've got belly pix, but - ho hum - can't post em". Come to my house and upload, girl! :) I'm glad you're feeling better and starting to have fun. Maternity clothes are da bomb. So is not puking, for that matter...
ReplyDeleteI know, it's ridiculous! I tried uploading this morning when I got home from work. Of course the computer wouldn't turn on, and once I got it on, we had no internet. :/ I even tried again this evening before I came to work, because we actually had internet. But it was taking so long, that I had to leave to make it to work on time. sigh. I HATE uploading pictures. Thats why I've asked for a laptop for the past 10 years. (hint hint dan)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying pregnancy! I loved it, too! :) I can't wait to see more pics!
