2 more months to The Big Day !

Another 2 more months to the 'Big Day'. The lil one inside has been very active and kicking real hard.! Even now, when I'm sitting down blogging, can feel his strong punches and kicks for the past 5 mins... And of course the hunger pangs kicks in quite frequently nowadays... And he just kick much more harder reminding me to feed myself !

Even at night, he moves alot too. Shifting his butt up, elbowing me so on.... Harder to sleep peacefully till morning....





Your baby's lungs and digestive tract are almost fully developed. While your baby may soon slow up growing in length, (he measures about 15.7 inches/ 40 centimetres from crown to toe by now), he will continue to gain weight until he's born. This week your baby continues to open and shut his eyes. He can probably see what's going on in utero, distinguish light from dark and even track a light source. If you shine a light on your stomach, your baby may move his head to follow the light or even reach out to touch the moving glow. Some researchers think baring your stomach to light stimulates visual development. But don't expect 20/20 vision when your baby is born -- newborns can see a distance of only about 8 to 12 inches/ 20 to 30 centimetres. (Children with normal vision don't reach 20/20 vision until about age 7 to 9.) To complete the picture, your baby now has eyebrows and eyelashes.
