Week 29

Eleven more weeks to go...

The book says the baby is about 17 inches long. We know from the ultrasound that she's 3.5 lbs. (The book says she's about 3 pounds. We have an overachiever!) In the next 11 weeks, the baby will come close to tripling her weight. Yikes! I sure hope the book is wrong about that! She'll start getting cramped in there pretty soon and the book talks about more jabs and pokes to come.

Dr. Strong indicated that we'll be having another ultrasound before we deliver. He said the next ultrasound is to gauge the baby's size. I think it will be in about 5 weeks. We have an appointment in 3 weeks, then another 2 weeks after that.

We decided on an anniversary trip. For the first time since we've been married, we won't be taking a cruise/all-inclusive to celebrate. To make up for it, we're going to spend a couple of days at South Shore Harbor resort in Kemah. It's about an hour south of here, and they have a great pool and a swim up bar. We plan on relaxing as close to tropical as we can get! I can taste the virgin strawberry daiquiri now.
