His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
You may be feeling a little tired these days, especially if you're having trouble sleeping. You might also feel clumsier than normal, which is perfectly understandable. Not only are you heavier, but the concentration of weight in your pregnant belly causes a shift in your center of gravity. Plus, thanks to hormonal changes, your ligaments are more lax, so your joints are looser, which may also contribute to your balance being a bit off. Also, this relaxation of your ligaments can actually cause your feet to spread permanently, so you may have to invest in some new shoes in a bigger size.
Let the countdown begin! Only ten more weeks to go and we still have so much to do. We need to finish our house, move in to our house, schedule our hospital tour, register at the hospital, and buy all of the things that we don't have for this baby.
I haven't been sleeping very well these last few days. I just can't get comfortable so I am tossing and turning all night. In the morning my neck and back are so stiff. I try and catch up on my sleep during the day by taking naps with Jeffrey.
My belly seems to be getting so much bigger now, although I am not gaining any weight. Sometimes, at the end of the day, I find that I start to waddle around a little bit.
My next doctor's appointment is this Tuesday. I get to find out the results of my one hour glucose test (hopefully I passed). After this appointment, I will start seeing the doctor every two weeks.
