32 Weeks Pregnant: Jicama
This week I am 32 weeks pregnant! Baby Berry is now about 16.7 inches head to heel and weighs about 3.75 lbs (about as much as a large jicama). I totally have no clue what a Jicama is, but it looks sorta like a coconut and 3.75 lbs for a coconut sounds about right, so I just image baby is about that size. I am starting to get a little more uncomfortable and I am certainly a little more hungry as well. It is funny how you can tell that baby is going through a growth spurt. We are going to the doctor every two weeks at this point, which makes this feel all the more real. We are making the list of the things we really must have before baby gets here. Worse comes to worse Toy-R-US is across the street from the hospital and there is a Target in the mall which is actually attached to my hospital via a skywalk. Eric loves to eat at food courts in malls, so I figured the least I could do is give him somewhere to go people watch while I am recovering.
You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he’ll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
