Little Krysti in the Making 6

June 14, 2009

I have been sooooooooo tired!! Okay, so I absolutely love being pregnant- every little kick and somersault is amazing! She has such a personality and I know she's gonna be just like me. But- sleeping at night.. is like almost impossible! My tummy is so heavy still and its hard to move my body around in the middle of the night.. and then once i manage to move i wake up for a second and realize i have to pee. lol- its getting harder and harder at night!

I have finally decided on Kylie Rae. Her middle name is after my dad who is spelled Ray- but since its the maculine form, Ill give her the girly one and she'll still know its after her papa! I cant wait to meet little Kylie- she is such a blessing in my life and I never realized it in the beginning- but she truly came in a time of need I guess you could put it. I may be young.. but I am strong and determined and I will giver her the world.

Heres whats passed so far-

Week 28- By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can open and close her eyes, which now sport lashes. This movement is more of a reflexive blink than a deliberate opening and closing, but it won't be long before she's batting those beauties at you.

Week 29- Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

Week 30- Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

Thats it so far for this week- Ill post up some pictures soon! =)
