At 29 weeks pregnant, Bennett is almost 17 inches long now (nearly as tall as she will be at birth), and close to three pounds (a weight that could double or maybe tripling by delivery time). Her wrinkled skin is smoothing out as more fat is deposited under the skin surface. This fat, called white fat, is different from the earlier brown fat that she accumulated. Brown fat is necessary for body temperature regulation while white fat (the fat we have) actually serves as an energy source.
Which explains why my energizer baby feels so energized! Space in my Bennett's living quarters is now at a premium, so I'll be feeling jabs and pokes from elbows and knees mostly. But the kicks will be more vigorous than before (and also less erratic) because she is stronger and excitedly responding to all sorts of stimuli movement, sounds, light, and that candy bar i ate half an hour ago.
Luckily, she doesn't have teeth yet that would need a brushing after that sugary treat, but it won't be long before will need to buy that first baby toothbrush! Bennett's baby-teeth buds formed weeks ago, but now the buds for permanent teeth are forming in her gums as well.
Thats awsome and i cant wait till my Goddaughter gets here. Miss you guys and cant wait to see you. Where is my blog woman?
