Happy Week 34 (a day early)!

I'm posting my weekly baby update a day early as I will be travelling to the country music capital of the world, Nashville, tomorrow for work and obviously will not be blogging (I will instead be schmoozing and probably ass kissing, but whatever.....). So, here is what's going on with my precious baby niece this week:


-Your baby acts completely like a newborn, with her eyes opened when awake and closed when sleeping. You may also find her settling into more of a routine for sleeping & awake times. (sis, is this true?)
-
She has learned to blink. She can also see more clearly when there is a bright light on your stomach and probably has the outline of all your organs memorized! (ew, that's kinda gross)

-Antibodies from your blood are being transferred to her. These immunities continue to build until birth. Then breast milk will add even more protection against disease.

-Your baby may have already turned to a head-down position in preparation for birth. If she is your first baby, she may be settling into the pelvis with her head pressing against your cervix. (sounds pleasant....)

-Fingernails have reached the end of the fingertips now. She may scratch her face even before she is born!

-Your little one's length is 17.7 inches (45cm) and weight is 4.7 pounds (2146 g)
