Your baby has bulked up like the average cantaloupe -- to about 4 3/4 pounds. (Length: almost 18 inches, head to heel.)
i can now make out a foot coming across my belly or a head. he is getting restless like us, but he's probably more cramped. soon i'll be going every week for appointments. feeling good. people are asking my due date. due date is feb 10th. pretty close and exciting.
this little guy does keep me up like haley did. but that gives us some much needed quality time.
Your baby is proportioned like a pineapple when it comes to weight -- a little over 4 pounds. (Length: more than 17 inches, head to heel.)
i was measuring at 33 wks last week. we're nearing the end and this is when he gains the most poundage and grows. and i continue to get slower and slower :)
it is so much fun to have him really wiggly and be able to tell which body parts he's moving around. whether it's a kick to the ribs or a knee to the bladder...i do enjoy the movements.
we got our first new boy outfits this weekend from family. so fun and no pink or purple :) we were never into all flowers and frill and we probably won't be all into the trucks and sport stuff. but we got monkeys :)
it's just fun to watch them grow into themselves and figure out their style. haley loves trucks and cars (she says beep beep all the time) and who knows what this little guys will like. no matter what love them. we can't wait to meet our little guy.
today i met one of the docs in the rotation. i've met her before. she's very nice. we had a good talk and she rushed through the visit since there is supposedly a huge storm coming. so i was out of there in 15 min. it was great. of course i had mike come home to play with haley for a short visit. oh well. i'm measuring 33 wks and haven't gained any weight in a month. not too bad considering i was gaining 5-8 lbs every two wks with haley - so it seemed. so things are going well. next visit after the new year and after 36 wks i go every week. crazy. feeling good and getting more and more excited. i'm sure time won't seem to be going as fast soon. it just seems fast since we've been busy. but it will slow down as we get closer and more excited and anxious.
Your baby is taking up more and more space in your uterus and weighs as much as a large jicama -- about 3 3/4 pounds. (Length: about 16 3/4 inches, head to heel.)
this is a photo taken at 7am - i'm not quite awake. but you can see my basketball. still carrying higher than i did with haley. pretty soon i'll be going to the doc every week. he's quite the mover at night. and has been asking for lots of cinnamon anything.
the photo of me in the blue is when i was 32 wks pregnant with haley. i was so much wider and puffier. funny. i was twice the size with haley than i am this time. and i've heard your 2nd pregnancy you are usually bigger, but i still have time to get bigger :) both pregnancies i've been pretty lucky. besides no sleep that is. but i can't really complain.
cohen kiddies blog will combine the baby blog and haley's blog when the baby is born. so bookmark this for the future.
Your baby now weighs as much as four navel oranges. (Length: over 16 inches, head to heel.)
6 wks til full term. still feeling pretty well, but still not sleeping very well. but really can't complain. cleaning out the nursery and slowly getting ready is sad and exciting. it was hard to put haley's clothes away, but fun to pull out the newborn stuff.
we have more neutral clothes than i thought we did. but it will still be fun to buy some little boy clothes. still trying to hold off on buying stuff because i know once i start i know i won't be able to stop.
last night i got to hold eli stephens while he slept. it was really nice to get to hold such a cute tiny baby. our baby kicked him a lot and was trying to wake him up. i think he was jealous or just trying to bond with him. maybe they'll be good friends. they'll be a few months apart.
loving the cold. only my child would giggle into the freezing wind. it was 17 degrees and 3 below with windshield. she was bundled and had her monkey hat on, but she was just giggling away. do kids not feel cold?
of course i'm not cold. i have pregnancy temps. so i get hot in a sweater and end up having to take my coat off because i get so hot.
haley got to run around the library today saying hi to everyone, played in the castle, colored, had story time and watched the fishies swim in the tank. she also enjoyed apple slices at mcds while mommy could eat a small fries :) it was a hard day without power in the house so we had to get out and treat ourselves :)
he's measuring exactly at 30 wks.
my doctor told me she has another patient named katie cohen who is asian. funny. her full name is kathleen. she said that she is 15 some weeks behind me so there is no chance of getting the babies confused. ha ha. not really funny, but funny that there is another asian katie cohen.
i forgot to mention that the other day i was holding the kix cereal box in my lap to snack with haley. the baby was kicking pretty hard and he knocked over the kix box. seriously. pretty funny. he's getting strong for just being a couple pounds.
30 wks already - Your baby rivals a good-size cabbage in weight, tipping the scales this week at 3 pounds. (Length: about 15 3/4 inches, head to heel.)
ack - i can't believe that. i'm seeing the OB tons now and getting quite big. it's just my belly. he's really moving - people can see him jiggle my belly and poke out from across the room. it's pretty funny. he knocked over the cheerio box this morning that was in my lap.
we have lots to do to get ready. we have a lot to do left on the house.
even though i'm getting bigger and bigger and look like i'm smuggling a basketball - it gets more exciting and more fun as he moves more.
