32 weeks and counting!

This is day number 224 and I'm 32 weeks pregnant!
We have 56 days or 8 weeks left, and are 80.0% of the way there.
Baby's age since conception is 210 days or 30 weeks. My due date is 12/4/2007.

Only five weeks and two days left until our little guy arrives. I have a dr. appointment tomorrow so I will have the official details then (heartbeat, weight, bp, etc.)

Right now he is very active - rolling and stretching and kicking. He also has the hiccups right now. He had them the other night when I when to bed they lasted 15 minutes - 15 minutes!

Ok, here is the general update on where baby brudder (that is how Emma says it - so cute)is.

Our baby is approximatrly 18.9 inches long from head to toe, weighs almost 4 pounds and is taking up a lot of space in my uterus. :-) He will gain weight more quickly now. I'm gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to the baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. Just like a newborn, the baby sleeps a lot of the time. He even experiences rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the period of sleep when we dream!

Sarah is the photographer of mommy's belly at 32 weeks - ok...no picture tonight. I am experiencing technical difficulties with my camera. I will try to fix that problem tomorrow and get the picture uploaded. Thanks for waiting.

Blessings,
Kim
