34 weeks


How big is baby?  He weighs a little less than 5 pounds. He is the size of a large cantaloupe! and he is almost 18 inches long. We have finally reached the "safe zone." Babies born between 34-37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine.
Weight gain? So far, I have gained a total of 16 pounds. My tummy is measuring exactly where its supposed to be...so he is growing!
Sleep? I feel pretty uncomfortable for the most part. I have a hard time getting settled into bed at night and tend to toss and turn until I find a spot that's comfortable for Miles and I. I wake up tons throughout the night, but I guess its just preparing me for the sleep deprivation I am going to begin to experience in just a few short weeks!
Best moment of the week? I had a healthy check-up with my new doctor yesterday!
Food cravings? Nothing stands out, although, my Dad made a Spanish dish for dinner last night and I cant wait to eat some of the leftovers for lunch today...Deelish!
Movement? Still moving alot! More so at night than during the day.
What I miss: Sleeping through the night, having energy, my cute clothes and...wine!
What I am looking forward to: My next ultrasound on Tuesday and, of course, my baby shower next weekend!

 
What Miles has been up to this week:
He now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers, which will help regulate her body temperature once he's born, are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well.
