Your Baby in Week 34 of Pregnancy
What's new this week? Your baby is clocking in at five pounds and could be as tall as 20 inches by now, and the vernix (the white coating protecting your baby’s skin) is getting thicker. This week, a boy's testicles start making their way down from his abdomen to their final destination: his scrotum (look out below!). While about three to four percent of boys are born with undescended testicles, it's nothing to worry about — they usually head downtown before junior turns a year old. In other baby-related developments, those tiny fingernails have probably reached the tips of his fingers by now — and getting ready for that first postpartum manicure.
Your Body in Week 34 of Pregnancy
You're not seeing things — at least not as well as usual. That's because your eyes are yet another part of your body that falls prey to those pesky pregnancy hormones. Not only can your vision seem less sharp these days, but also a decrease in tear production can leave your eyes dry and irritated, especially if you wear contact lenses. Plus, an increase in fluid behind your eyes’ lenses can temporarily change their shape, making some women more nearsighted or farsighted than usual. Happily, these vision changes during pregnancy are all temporary. Things should clear up as your eyes return to normal after delivery (so there's no need to change your prescription just yet).
So I started cleaning the house yesterday. Like, really cleaning. I did the kitchen and part of the living room yesterday. My goal is to get the living room done today and the floors at the very least. I want to get the bedroom done too because my grandmother decided to come home a day early and I wont be able to get anything done with her here at the house. I also have my Spanish midterm to do and my health work. I am going to have a really hard time with her here, you just have no clue.
Trina found out she is having a boy! :) They are so excited! They are moving back to Georgia in three days so they will be here for Thanksgiving! :) I am super excited!
We have so much to do in this house before Thanksgiving, especially if my grandmother is planning to do the family thing here. She has to clean out the dining room, paint it, and set it up. On top of all the cooking. I don't think its gonna get done. I love the way I set up the table but I don't think it will hold everyone! Do you?
Happy Wednesday!
