How your baby's growing:This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
Update: Well, as I noted yesterday, I am on bedrest now. I will be going back weekly and doing weekly sono's to check Deakon's growth...so that is a plus. I will get to see my little munchkin every week. I have settled more into the idea of bedrest today...yesterday I was a little upset. But, it is for the bedrest. So...I am doing my best to be a good girl and abide by it. =) We are so excited though, it just means we are one step closer to getting to meet our little munchkin!!
