Addie is WILD. I think she is awake 95% of the time and decides to randomly take 10 minute naps here and there. While she is awake she is beating the inside of Lacy's stomach to a pulp. It's funny to me, but not so much to Lacy, especially at bedtime. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come.
The network of nerves in her ears are better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both of our voices while we chat. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air, and then starts crying I'm sure. She's continuing to put on baby fat as she fills out. She's also growing more hair, and if we could see it, we'd now be able to discern its color and texture. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel. That's hard for me to believe, because the diameter of Lacy's belly isn't even 14 inches. No wonder she is going nuts in there.
Lacy still looks great, if she didn't have the baby belly you wouldn't even know she was pregnant. It has still been a smooth and uneventful pregnancy (for the most part), and Lacy is still doing pretty good. Her hips have started to ache a little more, and it's getting tough to sleep because of that. She is still peeing every 10-15 minutes and exercising regularly.
We finished painting the nursery, and the color looks really good. I put up the curtains (twice), but Lacy ended up having to order a longer set of them. So I will put up curtains for a third time in the next day or two. We ordered her crib, dresser, and changing table last weekend, but all are on backorder. Good news is all of it should be here early March at the very latest. Let's hope Addie doesn't decide to make her grand entrance too early, because she may have to sleep with the dogs in their bed.... which would also be mine and Lacy's bed.
