We only have about 6-7 weeks to go! We are naming him Jasper! During this 6 weeks we are going to be so busy...we are in the process of selling our house and buying another one...we hope to be moved in to our new house before Jasper is born.
Here are some facts about this week in development:
Jasper measures about 19.8 inches (50.3cm) from head to toe and weighs about 5 pounds (2.3kg). He is settling into the head-down position, although it might not be final. Organs are now almost fully mature, except for lungs, and his skin is pink instead of red. Fingernails reach the ends of fingers, but toenails are not yet fully grown. He might have lots of hair by now. Movements are less frequent because of the tight fit.
Jenny:
Her uterus hardens and contracts as practice for labor, known as Braxton Hicks contractions, but she has not had much of them yet. Her pelvis has expanded and starting to ache, especially at the back. Uterus is pushed hard against her lower ribs and her rib cage has been sore, especially when Jasper gets to pushing on those ribs, and her navel is almost completely pushing out as a result of her abdomen being stretched.
