Well, I missed updating this week entirely. Here's what went on: Naomi, this past week you grew to 16-18 inches long and roughly 3.3 pounds. You're heading into a growth spurt as you build up more fat. It's taken you 31 weeks to get to 3.3 pounds, and now you have about 9 weeks to pack on about 4 more! You can and still do all kinds of flips--I can distinguish hands/feet/hiccups both at the top and bottom of your space, dependent on time of day. Your sense of hearing is more finely tuned and I bet you can hear all our voices each day. We love you very much.
I'm not feeling Braxton Hicks contractions, or if I am, I don't notice. Most women have gained 21-27 pounds at this point. I've gained 2. I'm still not sure how I'm losing weight, but Naomi is the size she's supposed to be, so I guess it's okay. I'm still out of breath, and that'll continue until the baby "drops", much closer to delivery. Right now, my uterus is so large that my lungs can't fully function. Same goes for my stomach and my bladder....woohoo.
This week has been a lot of catch-up after being in Jamaica last week with my family. We enjoyed relaxing at a resort, with lots of fun things for everyone to enjoy. The heat and humidity were not my friend, and due to liability I couldn't do some things, but it was fun all the same. We played in the pool, visited the different restaurants, watched live entertainment, etc. Maybe by next weekend we'll be fully caught up.
