6 weeks to go

A little bit about the Baby (week34):

Baby is continuing to grow and fill out during pregnancy week by week. In fact, that is his primary job during pregnancy at 34 weeks and beyond. Not much changes from 34 weeks pregnant and on except the baby is adding valuable meat to his bones
Babies born at 34 weeks usually have fairly well-developed lungs and their average size of 5 pounds (2250 grams) and 17.7 inches (45 centimeters) allows them to survive outside the womb without extensive medical intervention. However, oxygen might be needed for a few days.
Meanwhile, baby's adrenal glands have grown. They are now producing hormones that stimulate lactation. The vernix coating on the baby's skin is becoming thicker while the lanugo hair is almost completely gone.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

I went to the hospital this morning to have my routine check up and the midwife told me that the baby turned its head already – so it’s facing down the way it’s supposed to. There is a chance he may turn around again but hopefully he will stay that way; otherwise he will be in the bridged position and a cesarean section may be needed.

I feel very tired now. The third trimester it’s not such a fun anymore. I have difficulties sleeping – very hard to turn from one side to another during the night.

We started buying stuff for little one too and we got him a lovely bed, drawer, lamp, some body suits with funny cars and little socks. Oh I can not wait now. All the clothes are so tiny, like for a little doll – Just as well because if he was any bigger I don’t know I would like the idea of giving birth :).
