32 weeks/8months!
We've reached the 8th month (32-35 weeks). We have 8 weeks to go.

This week the baby weighs about 4 pounds with a crown-to-rump length of 11.6 inches, and a total length of almost 19 inches. I can't believe it.

The baby now gets hiccups on a daily basis. They are very close together. Yesterday he had them three times. Poor thing.

After bragging in my last posting that I have hardly any symptoms and feel great, I had a hard weekend. I felt exhausted and kind of flu-like, similar to how I felt in the first trimester. Last night I hardly slept at all ... I alternated between reading on the couch and lying in bed staring wide-eyed at the wall, listening to Jerry breathe. The Kaiser advice nurse says this is all normal, alternating between exhaustion and insomnia.

On a positive note, I am officially done with this semester. Now I get to focus on important things, like watching TV and reading and trying to paint my toenails.
