Pregnancy Highlights!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 34 weeks!

Size of baby: 

Your baby's the size of a butternut squash!



At less than two months to go, he weighs in at about 4.2 pounds to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches.

Baby Development This Week: 

·         He's recognizing and reacting to simple songs, if you're singing them. (If you're not, start! He may find them soothing after birth.)
·         He's also urinating about a pint a day

Maternity Clothes: Regular shirts, stretchy capris/maternity bottoms.

Gender: IT’S A BOY! John Declan Leviner! He will be called Declan. Declan is of Irish origin and means full of goodness. J

Movement: He’s still kicking and moving, but is running out of space. He will be here before we know it!

Sleep: I sleep whenever I can, but I usually only get 3-4 hours of sleep at a time…sometimes I get lucky and it’s more than that.

What I miss: Some foods and drinks, but mostly being able to lean over to pick up things without feeling huge and weird.
                                            
Cravings: Nothing really

Symptoms: heartburn, harder to move around and lean over, backaches, fatigue, feet swelling, and more recently nausea. :/

Best Moment this week: The other night I started praying and Declan started kicking like crazy. It was pretty cute!

  1. That would be why the band Disturbed calmed Balian down after he was born... Hmmm...

  2. Such great updates. You are getting close to the end. My cousin is here and pregnant. Her due date is end of August. She had some contractions 2 nights ago and we thought it was it but false alarm. :)
