Today's a Milestone....

32 weeks complete! According to the Mayo Clinic, "Babies born after this time tend to do very well even if they are premature. At 32 weeks all major organs are functioning at full capacity, except the lungs, which will continue to develop over the next 6-8 weeks."

I'm sure all expecting parents breathe a big sigh of relief at this point. I know that's what we're doing. Considering where we started, it is very reassuring that we've entered what feels like a rather "safe zone." My doctor says that from this point forward, our baby will gain about a pound every 10-12 days. That's pretty impressive. Little B should be about 4 lbs now...so from here on out, Little B should double in weight.

As for what's actually going on in Hotel W-- here's what BabyZone.com says:
"Just like you, your unborn baby will establish a daily routine. You'll notice at times your baby is active and wiggly, while at other times you can't feel her movements. Once your baby's born, she'll most likely continue with her in-utero pattern. Along with a routine, your baby has favorite positions too. A favorite of many unborn babies is to have their heads down, rumps up towards the ribs (conveniently, the perfect position for labor)." I definitely notice the wiggling-- and hope that they're right about Little B finding his/her favorite position-- head down, butt up-- real soon. That would make me, Mike and our doctor very happy!
