Somewhere Around 32 weeks

Have I mentioned there isn't an actual due date? Baby will come sometime around the end of May and beginning of June. Both ultrasounds I had gave me completely different due dates and I wasn't keeping track of things myself. So there's an open window of a couple of weeks that Blue will arrive. I kind of think thats a good way to think even if someone did give me an exact date, give or take a week or two from a certain 'day'. With that being said, and because it's just normal to have an answer when someone asks how far along you are, I'd say I'm currently around the 32nd or 33rd week. Here's a couple pictures of the belly thats getting bigger and bigger by the day.

I looked at a web site just for fun to see the development info in the womb for this time frame and here's what it said:

In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers out there - baby’s got blue eyes. Actually, even if you're too young to know who Elton is, all babies have blue eyes at this point. This could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a strengthening immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week survive! So - go ahead and throw a mini-party right now because it’s pretty much a done deal - you've got a human-bean that's going to make it! That's not to say you actually want your wee womb-squatter to pack their bags and move out now, because they'd still end up in the ICU for a good while, rather than in your arms at home. Babies are best when fully baked!


Just one more reason to call him Blue!
