The time for my niece's arrival is drawing near....we're down to only FIVE weeks until her due date! Can you even believe it? I grow more and more excited with each passing day. I can't wait to meet her! At this point she is pretty much viable, but we'd still like her to cook a little bit longer. Here's what's going on with her:
-The average baby weighs almost five and a half pounds now.
-Most babies born now will survive and without many long-term problems.
-Fat accumulations plumps up the arms and legs this week. These layers of fat will help her regulate her body temperature. They also provide those cute little dimples on elbows and knees!
-Her hearing is fully developed, so be sure to talk to your daughter. Do you find yourself speaking in a high-pitched tone? That's okay since some studies show babies respond better to higher pitches.
-It's getting crowded! Your baby is now taking up most of the uterus and you may even feel like your chest has run out of room! Soon enough though, baby will move down and you'll be able to breathe easily again (just not walk so easily! Ha!).
-Your baby is 18.2 inches (46.2cm) long and weighs 5.3 pounds (2383gm).
