Today I am officially 35 wks pregnant.....so amazing and unreal!! We are 3 wks and 2 days away from meeting our little Teagan!! And sadly I must say, I still havent gotten things ready for her arrival. I have done some laundry,etc.....but I have not packed a bag, I have not found a place to put her clothes, I have not made up the pack-n-play ( her bed for the 1st few months), I have not pulled out the necesseties ( boppy pillow, new carseat/carrier, bottles, binkies, spit-up rags, etc).
I am almost ready for Christmas though......have a few more presents to buy, some more wrapping to do but for the most part....I am done! I mailed the last of my Christmas cards today.....hooray! Tomorrow is my "shopping day" so I hope to really finish up....then I can start preparing for Teagan's arrival!!
Here is what Teagan is up to:
Your baby weighs about 6 lbs (2750g) and measures about 20.7 inches (46cm) in length. Crown to rump measurement is about 13.5 inches (34cm).
Your baby now feels lower in your pelvis.
Your baby continues to grow, kick, and move about.
Your baby's face has filled out and the cheeks now look plump and full. Fat baby cheeks are caused by fat deposits, but also by powerful sucking muscles which your baby has been honing by sucking her thumb.
Your baby's skull is firm, but it is not hard as it needs to give a little when it is passing through the birth canal.
Your baby's head is probably down by now, but about three percent of babies present in a breech (bottom down) position. Your doctor may try to turn your baby around if it is in a breech position by putting pressure on your abdomen. This is called external cephalic version (ECV) and is effective in about 50% of cases. If your baby is in a breech position, ask your doctor about what your options are for the birth. You may or may not require a cesarean delivery.
Oh, I will post a new belly pic in the next day or so!
