There is not a lot new this past week. I had no doctor appointments but I have been fighting a cold and sinus infection for the last 2 weeks! I finally called my doctor on Tuesday and she called in a prescription for me and that finally knocked it. I feel WAY better. Crazy how much having a cold like that can really take it out of you.
This week I have an ultrasound which I am excited for. Kevin and I are guessing the girls will be around 4 and 1/2 pounds but we really have no idea. I was supposed to have Centering on this coming Friday but Dr. McKay is out of town so I have an appointment with her the following week. I am hoping we really nail down some details as far as a timeline goes at that appointment...but I guess we will find out :)
This past week was week 34! Here is a little more about what is happening with the girls:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
And here are the week 34 pics:
Have a great week everyone!
