8 Months Pregnant!!

We’re 8 months pregnant and I’m still feeling great! I finished Caylee’s bedding and am excited for her to get here so she can try it out :) We start our birthing classes this Saturday and are excited to learn everything we need to know so we’ll feel more prepared.

Fetal development in pregnancy week 32: By now, your baby weighs about 4 pounds and is 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair. Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. Most internal systems are well developed, but the lungs may still be immature.
