Weeks 29 - 32 - Winter Squash. Just in time for Thanksgiving too! :)
Had another checkup today - everything is right on target for where it needs to be! I've gained a total of 14 lbs, which the Dr. says is great! Baby is back head down, (as opposed to transverse like it was) and at least the feet are out of my kidneys for the time being! Baby T's heart rate is still around 148 and sounds good and strong! I did happen to read a bit of information today that was a huge relief to one of my worries... Right now if Baby T. decided to make his or her grand entrance, there is a >90 percent chance of survival. Saturday, when I am 30 weeks, that number jumps to >95 percent! I still want to bake this bun as long as it takes to get it mature enough to come home with me, (no NICU stay!) however I am relieved to know that if the unthinkable happens - the chances of survival are good!
Developmentally - Baby T's senses should all be in working order now and the brain continues to develop. Sleep patterns are evolving and I can tell that between 8:30-10:00 p.m. this child is going to be a handful! Maybe that's because I'm finally settling down for the day around that time and I notice it more, but the activity is definitely there. Dr. says Baby T should gain about a half pound every week between now and delivery and says in just a few weeks I should really "POP"!!!
glad to hear that things are great! it was a relief to hit the 30-week mark.
