I'm a little behind on my weekly updates, super busy week! I can't believe Baby Girl's due date is less than 10 weeks away!!
This week Baby Girl is the length of a cucumber, ranging between 15.5 to 17 inches from head to toe! She weighs in at about 3 lbs! This week her brain is doing even more developing. She's also starting to shed her lanugo, the fine furry hair that had been coating her body. This was to help keep her warm but now that she's gaining body fat she no longer needs it!
This week I've experienced some new pains but they are always short lived and I'm always feeling Baby Girl move so I'm not concerned. I've had a few instances of a sharp pain in my abdomen this week. I'm guessing it's just from Baby Girl running out of space and kicking and squeezing all different parts of me. Again, they aren't happening very often and they are not contractions because they don't cause hardening. Last night I scared Hubby to death because an intense pain in my calf woke me up from a sound sleep and had me clutching my leg and grimacing in pain. Once I communicated that I was not in labor and that it was just my leg, Hubby was able to fall back asleep. But other than these intermittent complaints, I've been feeling great and can't really complain!
My toes are now gone! Which is probably a good thing since I can't paint them anymore. Now they are out of sight and out of mind! I tried painting them this week and had to take a break between each toe. It's painful reaching down to them!
