Week 29...Thanksgiving Week

This week our baby weighs in at 2.6 pounds and measures at about 16 inches. To help with the discomforts of pregnancy that Mary is having at this time she should get plenty of rest, wear comfortable, supportive shoes and continue to eat a healthy balanced diet. If she hasn't started working on her birth plan, now is the time to get started!

Baby’s head is no longer disproportionate to the rest of the body. The senses are functioning and the eyes can move around inside the eye sockets. Little boy’s testicles are now moving toward their scrotum and little girls will have a prominent clitoris because it is not yet covered by the small labia, as this happens in the last few weeks of pregnancy.

Our baby’s skin is becoming less wrinkly as they continue to add fat and gain weight. The uterus is becoming more cramped now and the kicks and punches that you have felt will probably feel less pronounced at this point. Mary will definitely still be able to tell that baby is there, though!
