By this week, Baby Ashley weighs in at around two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.It's hard to believe that we're already in the home stretch of the third trimester! However, I have to keep reminding myself, that due dates (Ashley's is May 18th) are based on 40 weeks - but babies are "allowed" to come two weeks before to two week after that date. (if the calculations were right!) So, yes I ONLY have 12 weeks left (now THAT sounds crazy!!) but it could end up being only 10 more or as many as 14 more. But still.... And on the calendar we're technically only 2 months away since she could come any time in May.....wow! Ready or not, here she comes! (in her own time preferably!)
