Congratulations Ashley, Alan & AJ on your new blessing...
It's A Girl...
Our baby girl has joined us! Abbygail Lyla was born March 11, 2011 at 9:53pm, she weighed 8lbs., 7ozs., and 20" long. She is beautiful just like her Mother, Ashley. Her Daddy, Alan & big brother AJ and of course her Mommy are all doing great and happier than ever! I am a very proud Grandma. I got to spend the whole day with them when they got home from the hospital. Looking at Abby was just like looking at Ashley 20 years ago when I brought her home it's amazing, wonderful and special to have them in my life. I can't even put into words how I feel and how much love I have in my heart for them.March 11, 2011
We are having a baby!!!
March 8, 2011
You are 266 days pregnant.
14 days to go!
Your baby’s intestines are accumulating considerable meconium, a dark-green mass of used cells and waste product from the baby’s liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. The meconium in your baby’s intestines will be eliminated shortly after birth, but it sometimes can be eliminated before, if the birth is delayed too long. In the latter case, fecal material will be present at birth in the amniotic fluid.
By today, the baby’s toenails have reached the end of the toes. After the baby is born, you may need to trim its fingernails and toenails. As a point of interest, the fingernails and toenails actually begin to form on the palm of the hand and sole of the foot and then migrate to their final positions at the end of each digit.
In about another week, your baby’s foot will be slightly longer than the length of his thigh. Take a look at your own thigh to see how big that is relative to the size of your feet. Such odd proportions will change somewhat after birth.
As you might expect, the baby’s limbs are bent and drawn close to its body and her grasp is firm. Because of the space limitations in the uterus now, the movements of your baby are quite restricted.
Within the next three days, the circumference of your baby’s head will roughly match the circumference of its shoulders and its hips. After this time, the abdomen may be greater than the head.
At this point in development, the average baby weighs about 6 1/3 pounds (2,900 g) and measures almost 13½ inches (340 mm).
- At this point in development, the average baby weighs about 6 1/3 pounds (2,900 g) and measures almost 13 1/2 inches (340 mm).
- Use relaxation exercises such as deep breathing to help ease the pain of the contractions.
- Childbirth in Other Cultures: A number of tribes lubricate a laboring woman’s birth canal with saps or oils to make the delivery easier.
