32 Weeks

Here's the weekly update on Lexie.

"It may be hard to imagine, but your baby is now 38 centimeters crown-to-rump, or 15-1/4 inches long, and weighs three pounds, twelve ounces. In the past few months, the rapid weight gain has been due to an increase of fat stores and muscle. Your baby can move his or her head to the side, but now that baby is taking up much of the available space, his or her movement will slowly decrease."

AND

"Starting at about week 26, your baby has slept and awoken at regular intervals. (I can vouch for this specifically-she seems to start her aerobic workout just as I'm ready to go to sleep...Every Night!!!) He closes his eyes when he sleeps, and he'll even dream during the last month before birth. No one knows what babies dream about in the womb, but they show reactions ranging from frowns and smiles to crying and kicking. Asleep or awake, you may feel the kicks in a new place around now--in your rib cage, just below your breasts--as he moves into the head-down position where he'll probably stay until birth."

My thoughts are now shifting from 'I can't believe I still have ___ weeks left' to 'I can't believe I only have ____ weeks left'. I guess it's a good thing that we already have all the baby basics and girl clothes!!!
