Dear Gracyn,
63 days or 9 weeks until the EDD! I remember being excited when Mommy was 9 weeks pregnant....now we are saying she only has 9 weeks to go....In reality, only 6 weeks until you are considered FULL TERM!
This week, you should be measuring around 16 inches long. And we know that you weigh well over the 3.3 lbs suggested on BabyCenter....You weighed this several weeks ago....I am guessing about 4 1/2 pounds by now! The ultrasound tech is guessing you will weigh in well over 8 1/2 lbs if Mommy goes to 40 weeks! You can turn your head from side to
side, and your arms, legs, and body are plumping out as needed
fat accumulates underneath your skin. You are moving a lot, too, and Mommy has noticed you doing kicks, and sliding motions across the belly! We all take comfort in the fact that all this moving is a sign that you are
active and healthy!
Mommy has also been given GREAT news in her professional life as a nurse. Even though she graduated a little over one year ago, started her nursing career the day she was fully licensed, went on modified bedrest for almost 4 months, and has been back to work REALLY PREGNANT.....and anticipating a delivery in the next 9 weeks, with 6-8 weeks maternity leave.......SHE WAS PROMOTED! Yep! That's right! Promoted to Director of Care Delivery. Something that we are all very proud of. She is a wonderful, caring, nursing professional and her hard work has paid off!
PS Mommy no longer recognizes her feet and ankles! Poor thing!!
Love you baby Gracyn!
Grandma Dason
