34 wks

How your baby's growing: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is probably almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her central nervous system is still maturing and her lungs are well developed by now. If you've been nervous about going into preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that 99 percent of babies this age can survive outside the womb — and most have no major long-term problems related to prematurity.

she gets hiccups after i eat. but it's supposed to not bother her. it feels like her whole body is moving. she is also quite the elbower. it is fun to watch an elbow go across my belly.

3 wks til full term. 6 wks til due date. 7 wks til i will ask to be induced :)

next week is the baby shower. we are excited to have so many family members and friends join us.

still feeling pretty good. a little more tired than usual, but that's normal. i've been pretty lucky. and i actually love being pregnant. :)
