Week 34:
Fetal Development:
The baby responds as a newborn with its eyes open while awake and closed while sleeping. S/he is developing immunities to fight mild infection. Those sharp little fingernails are at the ends of the fingertips already, and you might need to clip them during the first few days after birth.
Ok, so not much going on as I am still stuck in bed. But we are very grateful that I am a full week further. Contractions have really slowed down while on rest, so that's good. I am getting bored and would LOVE to go for a walk, but that can wait. I'm also having a hard time getting comfortable and sleeping. Otherwise, things are going pretty great.
We went to the first meeting of the parenting group this morning. It was nice, but I felt really weird being a foreigner and having to leave after 25 minutes so as not to break my half hour orders. Hopefully they all understand. I will continue to go weekly, but keep it as short as I can. I must admit, though, it was really nice getting out of here. I haven't had any repercussions from it yet, and its been 7 hours, so I feel better about going to the midwife Thursday.
Hopefully I will have another positive posting for next week!!

I think you'll be doing plenty of walking after the baby is born!
Oh Im sure I will. I cant wait!!
Good, a "normal" week! Sorry about my choice of words, couldn't help myself. Really, it's good to hear when things behave the way they should. Walks with baby are the best, AND if you don't already have one, get a Baby Bjorn carrier. There aren't any on the market that come close to this one! So comfy for you and baby. They're a little spendy, like 80 bucks! I know, I would've never spent that much on one, luckily I got one at my baby shower. It is worth every penny, trust me!
