Your Baby: As the Big Day nears, your baby is getting ready to go towards the light at the end of the tunnel (the tunnel being the birth canal, the light being the one the doctor is shining directly into it so she can see what the heck she's doing). Other highlights this week: Your baby's eyes are partially open now and can blink. Truly superior babies can actually wink. (OK, there is no way to prove that, but it's fun to imagine, no?) Your baby can also now become a shiny, happy person as she has begun having rapid eye movement. His eyes have color now too. It may not be the color she ultimately ends up with, especially if they're light gray or blue. The eyes typically don't settle on a final hue until nine months after baby is born. So when your mother-in-law says that the baby has her eyes, you can politely inform her that they'll most likely change soon. Your baby is downright chubby compared to a few weeks ago. He is about 15 inches long, about the length of an amusement park cinnamon-sugar-coated churro (yum!), and weighs 2 to 3 pounds.
I love feeling Carter kick me everyday. Its like he's saying hi mommy im still in here happy as can be. lol. its such a good feeling. I had my 7 month check up yesterday and she said everything looks good. So far all I've gained is 10 pounds. I hear your supposed to gain like 20-30 so we will see how much i actually gain. My belly is growing and is very hard now! its like a bowling ball. lol.
