Gabriel is a honeydew melon this month, and we are a little over a month away from due date! He weighs about 5 pounds and is around 17-18 inches long this month. His senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through my (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, he can now recognize and react to simple songs! Growth is starting to slow, and he should descend into my pelivs by the end of this month.
I'm going to the doctor every two weeks now, and things are still looking great! I'm gaining about a pound a week, and my belly is growing about an inch a week. Gabriel is definitely head down, so hopefully he will stay there for the next 6 or 7 weeks! I'm feeling a lot less kicking, and a lot more movement, as he's trying to get comfy in a space that keeps getting smaller and smaller! I'm also pretty sure my feet have started swelling, because I've noticed my shoes are leaving indentions on my foot, and they did not used to do that!!
So, hopefully we will see our little one at the end of next month...I'll keep everyone posted!
