We have a busy week planned! Mom & Barbara get here on Thursday and we will work on the baby furniture and nursery this weekend. We will also be finalizing all the details for the TTU shower that’s on Monday!
The baby’s arms, legs and body continue to fill out — and they are finally proportional in size to her head. She weighs about 3.5 pounds and is about 18 inches long and looks more like a newborn.
So what does baby girl do all day….she makes faces, hiccups, swallows, breaths, pedals with little hands and feet, and even sucks her thumb.
This week marks an incredible milestone in baby girl’s lung development. Before now, the air sacs and branches in the lungs were present but not functional. The lungs were not able to inflate properly. However, now there is surfactant being produced in the baby’s lungs. Surfactant prevents the baby’s lungs from collapsing outside of the uterus and the baby is able to take in air and breathe properly.
The fetal ear is almost completely developed both inside and out. Baby girl can hear my voice and other familiar sounds that she will recognize after birth. .
Other fetal development that is occurring around week 31:
