Fetus Friday - Week 29

Week 29 . . . just like my age (ha! ha!)

Baby Center has this to say about Lumpy this week:

His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain.

It seems like this week is just a grow and grow stronger kind of week for Lumpy. Baby Center also says that Lumpy should be about 2.5 lbs now, but I think Lumpy may be a little larger (Lumpy was 2.25 lbs during my last ultrasound). I think I've mentioned it before (but as I'm learning with my positive pregnancy affirmations cd - you can't say it enough) - I want Lumpy to be a healthy-sized baby (but not a Buttin sized baby - almost 11 lbs!!!).

Baby Center has this to say about me:

Your baby's very active now. Your practitioner may ask you to spend some time each day counting kicks and will give you specific instructions on how to do this.

Yup, this is very true. Every so often during the day - Lumpy will kick VERY HARD. It kind of startles me, but then I laugh. Other times during the day it's like Lumpy is doing a little Riverdance in my belly - constant fluttering. So far, feeling Lumpy moving is certainly my favorite part of pregnancy (well, that and the increased intake of cookie dough and french fries . . . for Lumpy's sake).

In other Lumpy news - my wonderful friends Liz & Jen are hosting a shower. The invites went out this week and now my mom's favorite thing to do (besides look at porn - another story) is to look at the registry and see what people have bought for Lumpy. Her favorite thing so far is blue jeans - so if you bought Lumpy a pair of blue jeans - congratulations, you're my mother's favorite person!
