Pregnancy Highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 36 weeks!

Size of baby: 

Your baby's the size of a honeydew!

He's still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up.

Baby Development This Week: 

·         He's getting closer and closer to being able to breathe on his own.

·         His skin is getting smooth and soft and his gums are rigid.

·         His liver and kidneys are in working order.

·         Circulation and immune systems are basically good to go, too.

·          

Maternity Clothes: Regular shirts (shirts are getting a little small, thinking I might need a couple of maternity 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: Sleep has been a little better lately, I think it’s because I’ve just been so exhausted. Naps have become a regular part of my schedule again…lol. I’m enjoying it while I can. ;)

What I miss: Just feeling normal---not feeling huge and hot all the time!

                                            

Cravings: Nothing really.

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

Best Moment this week: Setting up Declan’s crib and starting on his nursery area. J
