Well, we all went to the Luke Air Force Base show this weekend and Gia sure did move and shake hearing all those loud jets! Her little eyes, or as I am hearing from everyone her BIG eyes are blue now and fully formed. Gia can react to light and of course all sorts of sounds now. She is floating around in about 1 1/2 pints of amniotic fluid. Gia is, give or take about 16 inches long and weighs between 2 1/2 -3 pounds right now packing on about 1/2 pound every week from now on. Her brain growth is soaring and her head is continuing to grow. Little one can regulate her own body temperature and start shedding lanugo, the downy body hair that's been keeping her warm up until now. Our little love also developed a strong grip to grasp a finger. Gia's bone marrow has taken over her red blood cells which is the first step for Gia to thrive on her own. I feel Gia sit very high at times and between 3-3:30 pm she moves more to my right everyday. I love to see my stomach go up and down... like what I call rolling thunder. I feel more and more pressure in my lower stomach area and have to tinkle ALL the time. I am up at night every hour and a half. I have begun to waddle so I am told as well!!! LOL!!
I was supposed to have my bi-weekly OB appt. today to check on Gia, but when I got to the office and waited to see my Dr. his medical assistant came out and said he is was going home sick. So, I had to reschedule for next Monday for my check.
Your waddle is so cute! Don't you just love watching your stomach move? It is like the waves in an ocean and it is such a beautiful sight! Can't wait to hear about your next doctor's appointment! :)
