Quick hit

There is definitely a lot to say, but time has been short lately. I just wanted to make sure I posted this week's developments before Saturday, which becomes Week 35. :-D I promise to try to post a "real" entry soon.

Baby and I are doing well, as are Daddy and Big Sister. Thanks for the continued well wishes and thoughtfulness. We appreciate you!

Week 34 Developments

Baby's Age: 32 Weeks
Baby's Weight: About 5 lbs.
Baby's Length: 12.75" (head to rump), 19.75" (head to toes)

From this point on little Tater has the level of development necessary to survive outside the womb (Wow!!!) . The baby's eyes are opening and closing in conjunction with its activity and resting periods. The eyes are nearly fully developed but will require a few weeks exposure to light to complete the pigmentation process. The baby is developing its own immune system to fight mild infections. The baby's fingernails will reach the end of the finger tips this week.
