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.
Info from www.babycenter.comMy 32 week belly photo:
Over the weekend Ed and I went to get some 3D/4D ultrasound photos. It's amazing what they can do these days. We confirmed that our little girl is definitely a girl! While we were looking around she was putting on quite a show ... we saw her open and close her mouth, smile several times, open and close her eyes. We also saw that she has a full head of hair and weighs a little over 4lbs. Here are some photos from our visit:

Last week we had our 30 week office visit ... we will now be seen every other week until 36 weeks when we will start going weekly. Right now everything is still going great! I feel like I'm getting bigger by the day. Her heartbeat is still sounding strong. The midwife was able to tell us that she was head down and her back more on the right side.She has been kicking more and more these days. Such a great feeling ... she moves to Ed's voice ... too sweet!
Our next office visit is 3/25!
