The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
Oh my, only 2 weeks until I'm in the third trimester! I was perfectly happy when we first got pregnant, but now I'm so anxious! Some days it feels like I have so much to do, and not enough time to do it! (oh wait, that's every day :P ) But in reference to baby, I really want to get the baby registry done, and get the room painted and get curtains hung in there too. But it seems like so many other things take priority when I want to do stuff.
I have gotten a few things done though, I found (with the help of my BFF) a stroller for only $15 at a garage sale the other day! So yay for a good find! My parents also gave us their gift to us and got us a infant car-seat! Thank you Mom and Dad!
I just finished reading my devotional for this week, it talked about relying on God through all the labor pains and that He will get me through this even when it seems impossible. Even though I still have 3 months to go, it's nice to think about Him being there with me and helping through the pain. I still want to try and do a natural birth, but I also know that if the pain is to much, God has put wonderful doctors within my grasp that can ease my pain with some medication. I'm also super grateful that God has given me a wonderful husband who I know will do everything to make me comfortable and happy.
Thank you for your continued prayers and reading of my blog. It makes me very happy to see the numbers on the 'views' of the blog keep going up! Thanks for reading and God Bless!
