This week the baby is still approximately the size of a winter squash, at 3.31 lbs. in weight, and 16.18 inches in length.

"Your baby weighs about 3.5 pounds (1.5 kg) now and fat continues to accumulate under the skin. While he can gain as much as half a pound a week from now until birth, the weight gain varies from baby to baby. The lanugo (body hair) is continuing to shed, although babies born prematurely may still have some of this at birth. Even though the lungs are the last of all organs to develop fully, he is practicing breathing 30 to 40 percent of the time. Bones are busy hardening and preparing to support his body after birth. The adrenal glands, which produce those important hormones called steroids, have doubled in size in the last ten weeks. Steroids are responsible for the growth and development of sex organs."

I went to meet with the gestational diabetes nurse this week, and we got my new testing equipment. I meet in an hour with the dietician, but luckily, I remember the diet from last time, so I've been trying to keep to it for the past week. The majority of my numbers have been good and in range, or at least close to range, but I did have two days that got thrown off by being out and about. Hoping that all goes well today. Then Friday I have my 32 week appointment, and they will remeasure me to see if I am still measuring small, and potentially order an ultrasound for me to see what's going on.
