Doctor appointment today - everything looks great! Heartrate was 160 (he had to wait for it to slow down - and that was "slow"). While I saw how much I weighed (and I'm not going to post it here!!), I forgot to ask what it was last time so I could see how much I have gained. As soon as doc put his hands on my belly, his comment was "So, the baby likes your right side, huh?" Smart doc; baby loves it over there!! Head is still down, so all looks good. Also had my chair massage today (have been averaging one every couple of weeks; the guy comes into work, and is fabulous!!)
Our baby classes start up soon; we're taking a two-night class on childbirth preparation (rather than the seven-week series!!), and we're also taking an Infant CPR class and a "getting ready for newborn" class. All are on weeknights, which is nice. Our hospital offers classes on anything you could possibly think of!!
This is from babycenter.com..... What the heck is a jicama??
How your baby's growing:By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
