"Our baby could be gaining as much as one full ounce of weight per day now. While he continues to urinate and practice breathing, our baby is also storing meconium (our baby's first bowel movement) in his intestines. His lungs are continuing to mature and his grasp has become even firmer than before. Our baby is approximately 20 inches long and weighs about 6 1/2 to 7 pounds. Almost all babies born now will live with little medical intervention."
While this website gives us a great guess at the weight, we actually found out last Wednesday, based on ultrasound that he weighed 7 lbs and 3 ozs. So if he gained an ounce a day since then, he now weighs 7 lbs and 10 ounches!!!!
Here's a picture of Trish after we got home today from more hospital visits.
Trish is definitely ready to be done with bed rest and has probably watched every Red Box movie available for rent. We're hopeful that our little man gets here soon!!!
