Another week has flown by and the baby (and my belly) just keep getting bigger. Baby girl's weight is up to 3 pounds and she is over 15 1/2 inches long. She is still working on improving her eyesight, growing her brain, and getting her lungs ready for the outside world.
I still feel like most of my weight gain has been in my belly, and I haven't had any swelling or other complications so far. I get a little sore sometimes in my lower abs after working out but it has gotten better over time. Folks at work have been very supportive and are always asking for updates on how big the baby is now and how I am doing. I am thankful that the pregnancy has been smooth enough to allow me to continue with my daily routines with only minor modifications. I still made it to the gym three times and had a nice chat with another woman in my zumba class last week about how the baby liked the class (answer: she doesn't move around much during the class because I am moving, but is still pretty active other times). She continues to kick and move strongly and seems healthy.
We had our hospital tour last weekend and were pleased with the rooms (all private) and the general feel, plus we got to see some cute babies sleeping in the nursery, which was exciting. We are off to Childbirth prep class at the hospital today, and have another OB appointment on Monday. Time is flying and it is great that things are going so well!
