In any case, for month 8 Reagan is the approximate size of a Honeydew melon. I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow and at my appointment last Wednesday my doctor estimated her size at 5 pounds, so she is on the bigger size. I'm ok with this, since if I were to go into labor from now on they wouldn't stop me, so having a bigger baby puts my mind at ease a little bit. The Doctor also said that if she kept growing at this rate she would be around 8 pounds by her due date, which we were expecting since both Joel and I were both around 8 pounds.
It is getting a little surreal that in a maximum of 6 weeks, as they will only let me go over due one week, we will meet our daughter!
Until then I hope you enjoy the update....
Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
