Today is the last day of week 27, and we are now officially entering the 7th month. Our little boy has reached 2.5 pounds and is about 16 inches long. The skill he has picked up this week is blinking. The baby may also be starting to have dreams (whatever half-done babies dream about!), since he is starting to have REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. His lungs are also almost fully mature by this week, which makes it easier for him to breathe if he was born now. But he still has a lot of growing to do!
There hasn't been a lot happening on our end this past week. We had a very relaxing weekend, which was nice! Also, with all of the snow, we've had more time away from work this week. I started getting my butt back to the gym a couple of times this week to try to keep the weight gain from getting too out of control. Nothing too crazy, just ~45 min. on the elliptical (low impact!). Instead of going fast, I just jack up the resistance and take my time. Hopefully going a few times a week will help slow the weight gain, but it's probably a good idea to stay strong too!
Our birthing basics class for this week has been canceled, although we're not sure if it's due to the snow or to an instructor change. So, we'll just get to take them into the beginning of March now.
Guess that's it for now!
