34 Weeks

Kind of late this week. Last week was Customer Service Week at work and those of you who know anything about that understand how crazy it was. I am glad that it is over and I can focus more on baby things. We had a shower with my family last night and it was very nice. Got some more clothes and great things. We are scheduled for a 4D ultrasound in a couple of weeks but I think I am going to call and try to schedule it for this week. So if we do I will be sure to get some pictures out here. Little Erynn will be here before we know it.

This is what is going on with her this week:

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is probably almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her central nervous system is still maturing and her lungs are well developed by now. If you've been nervous about going into preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that 99 percent of babies this age can survive outside the womb — and most have no major long-term problems related to prematurity.
