38 Weeks and Funny Sleep

Filed Under Pregnancy, Sleep, Week by Week | Leave a Comment

According to www.babycenter.com:

How your baby’s growing: Your baby has really fattened up. She likely weighs between 6 and 7 1/2 pounds now (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls), and she’s probably between 19 and 20 inches long. She has a firm grasp, which you’ll soon be able to test with your pinky! Her organs are fully developed and in place, but her lungs and brain — though developed enough for her to function now — will continue to mature right through childhood.

How your life’s changing:
It may be harder than ever to get comfortable enough to sleep well at night. Take it easy through the day — this may be your last opportunity to do so for quite a while. Keep monitoring your baby’s movements, too. Though she’s crowded, she should still be active.

I thought it was funny that they mentioned getting comfortable enough to sleep… yeah, that’s been a problem lately. In fact, Jonathon just took some pictures of me wedged into our bed with (I think) three pillows under my head, another between knees, one behind and also supporting a heating pad, and one under my feet. Not to mention a blanket under my belly and two stuffed animals for my arms and shoulders. We have quite a crowd in our room now. Anyway here are the pics.
