Had a doctor's appointment today. Jasmine was positioned head down, ready for birth. Hopefully she doesn't change her mind about her position before then.
I'm also starting to notice Braxton-Hicks contractions. These aren't real contractions, they don't hurt at all. It's just your body's way of warming up for the big event. Actually, most women start having them pretty early in pregnancy but they just aren't very noticable until about now.
Jasmine is probably up to a about 5 to 5 1/2 pounds and 18 inches long by now. Her lungs should be pretty much formed. This week she should begin putting on a little fat on her arms and legs. Just getting ready for birth!
pregnancy,
