Peanut and I were in for a check-up today at the doctor! Everything looks great. Picture perfect. HR good, my measurements were good. I am very thankful for no complications thus far!!This week in the news:
-Peanut is supposed to be heading into a growth spurt, gaining about ½ lb per week. So lets make that calculation – if Peanut really weighed 4 lbs 2 oz at the last US at week 30, we start adding ½ lb per week – by week 38 we are already looking at an 8-9 lb baby! YIKES A ROO!!!
-She can turn her head from side to side.
-Her legs, arms, and body continue to “plump” out as fat accumulates underneath the skin!
-She continues to move all around!! I really think she will become a gymnast or swimmer in her later days. Two reasons why I think this – (A) I secretly always wanted to be a gymnast/cheerleader. I was a “wanna-be.” However, I never was the “right body type” when I was younger and in school, so needless to say that didn’t pan out for me and I stuck with swimming! (B) She does flips, turns, full-body shakes all in that confined amount of space!! Surely she has an active future ahead!!! If she does end up being a swimmer, let’s hope she launches her career early and sprints out of this body and sac of amniotic fluid at 38 weeks!!! J
-Peanut can now process information from all five senses — so she'll be all set to smell the pureed green beans, taste them, feel them as she mashes them into her hair!
-Her lungs continue to mature as we speak!! She still needs more time for them to fully bake and mature!!
-She probably measures a little over 16 inches!
All for now!
Allyson and Peanut

Glad everything went well today. You look fantastic so it's good to know that peanut is making the grade too! If she is a swimmer at least you and Nate are already use to being early risers :)
