Yesterday we went to the doctor. Everything is going fine. All my tests came back fine. We heard the baby's heart beat again and that's always exciting. I got a third opinion on my chances of giving birth naturally and this is the third doctor that recommends a c-section. I don't want to get into details as to why. All I can say is I'm going to leave it in God's hands. He knows what's best for me and He'll somehow reveal to me what would be better for me and the baby. My blood type is A- so I will have to get a shot at 28 weeks. It's routine. We'll be back August 12 and hopefully we'll know the sex of the baby then. Can't wait. Here's what's going on this week:
The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
