Yes I know its Tuesday, but I get these e-mails on Mondays
You are currently in Week 32
31 weeks and 1 days
From APA –
What changes are occurring with your body?
The top of your uterus can now be measured about 5 inches above your belly button. Because the top of your uterus is so high, you may begin to have trouble breathing or feel short of breath. This is due to the pressure that your growing uterus is placing on your diaphragm. This same pressure may also cause an increased amount of heartburn.
Most likely you are gaining about a pound per week. Your blood volume has increased by 40% to 50% during the past 32 weeks. This allows your body to accommodate both you and your baby. This increased volume is also important because it makes up for the amount of blood you will lose during delivery.

How big is your baby?
Your baby is a little over 16 inches long and weighs between 4 and 4 ½ pounds.
What is happening with your baby?
Your baby is continuing to grow. Her toenails and fingernails have formed. The lungs are continuing to mature but will not reach full maturity for several more weeks. Your baby’s skeleton has completely formed, but her bones are very soft and pliable.
From WebMD-
It fills almost all the space in your uterus now. A layer of fat is forming underneath the thin, wrinkly skin. Baby's practicing opening her eyes and breathing. Most internal systems are well developed, but the lungs may still be immature. You may continue to get backaches and leg cramps.

Well in making a guess as to when Keelin will be born I have found numeros cousins, uncles and grandmothers born in March. I think it would be really cool if she shared one of those dates. Paul shares a coomon bithdate with a boy counsin also so it would be cool if Keelin landed on one of those dates. Starting from March 14, then we have March 26, 27, or 29. March 27 looks really good it is Cassanda's birthdate and they are both girls. I think you like that better than March 14th which has multiple people being bron that day. Just a little family triva.
I look at your site all the time what am I going to do after Keelin is born you will need to do a first year baby blogg. That would be pretty cool then all our friends and family can watch her grow.
