27 weeks down...9 to go!
Geezers Weezers...and now the clock has slowed to a mere trickle...I don't know where the last 6 1/2 months have gone...but I do know that I can almost recount the last few weeks day by day...too slow..and with this constant back ache, I have a sneaky suspicion I'm in for shear misery soon...
Your Baby: Growing Inside And Out
At this point, your baby weighs roughly 2 pounds (900 g), and measures about 15 inches long from head to toe (10 inches from crown to rump). On the outside, his skin looks wrinkled from floating in water. So don't be surprised if your newborn has a crinkled, prune-like appearance for a few weeks after birth as he fills out into a baby. The lungs and immune system are still continuing to mature during this period of time.
Your Body: Travel Do's And Don'ts
There's no better time than the second trimester to take a vacation "with baby" as long as you've checked in with your doctor and you've gotten the go ahead. That said, you should keep stress to a minimum and plan a relaxing trip. Below are some recommendations that may help you plan for your trip.
Traveling is generally considered safe during pregnancy. The key with traveling while pregnant is to make sure you are going to be comfortable and as safe as possible. It is best to notify your doctor of your travel plans and ask for any recommendations specific to you and your pregnancy. Whether you are traveling by plane, car, or train, it is important to do the following:
Continue to eat regularly.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Get up and walk around every hour or so to help your circulation and to keep the swelling down.
Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that are not binding.
Take crackers and juice with you to prevent nausea.
DO NOT take over the counter medicines or any non-prescribed medications without checking with your doctor. This includes medication for motion sickness or bowel problems related to traveling. Foreign travel: If you are planning a trip out of the country, discuss your trip with your doctor. Plan ahead to allow time for any shots or medications you may need, and be prepared to take a copy of your prenatal record with you. {PennHealth.com}
Me :
I'm starting to feel like I "look" different.. not just the belly..I dunno
On a brighter note, got the call that our furniture is in! YAYAY! Couldn't have been at a more perfect time. Now just waiting on the call from the delivery guy to confirm delivery date/time. He'll be delivering & setting up the cribs, so no time to waste there...
Now its time to buy drapes and fluffies for the nursery!
