Dates and numbers:
There are 65 days until your due date on December 17, 2008.
You are 215 days pregnant.
You are 7 months pregnant.
You are in your 8th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: March 12, 2008 to June 10, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: June 11, 2008 to September 23, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: September 24, 2008 to December 17, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)

You may feel as if you have been pregnant forever at this point. It might be hard to imagine being pregnant for another ten weeks, but your baby still has a lot of growing and developing to do! By this time, your baby's crown-to-rump length is a little over 10.8 inches and the total length of your baby is about 17 inches! Your baby weighs about 3 pounds now. Your uterus can be felt about 4 inches above your bellybutton. Your uterus, baby, placenta and the amount of fluid will get larger over the next ten weeks. You should be gaining about a pound a week at this time.
Because you are getting larger, you are probably becoming slower and clumsier. You should try to be careful to avoid dangerous falls. Good posture when sitting and standing can help you feel better during your pregnancy. You also should be rolling over on your side to get up after lying down because your muscles have stretched to accommodate your growing uterus.
Even though your baby is cushioned by the amniotic fluid, she can feel and respond to pain. Your baby now does `practice breathing` to get ready for life outside of your womb. If you have an ultrasound at this time, you will be able to see this. If your baby swallows amniotic fluid down the wrong passage, she will still get hiccups that are noticeable by you. If your baby were born at this time, she would be able to keep herself warm.
The skin begins to smoothen as fat deposits accumulate underneath. The fat insulates and is an energy source.

Then I am not sure, what to say that I have learned to go with my gut feelings. Us women have a nack for this kind of thing. If you don't feel good, then I know that your baby is not feeling good to and that is not a good thing. Speaking of babies mine has just inserted his foot into my rib cage. I also noticed that you keep calling yours baby sean...have you picked a middle name yet? Mine's name is Sean Alexander.tabfurtado -

My day started great lol...but then the more i thought about things, the more annoyed i got. Now its just going to sit in my head.
Oh..Harvest started a few months ago, Sean changed his schedule at his f/t job to be able to get off at 11am, so he could go help w/ harvest..so this has been going on a few months now. Theres only been a couple times where he said he was working late(r) Once he worked til 2am. but we dont live together, and im moving in with his mom here shortly.

10:30 already??? i'm tired but i can't even go to be..have to go to this benefit thing tonight..Boo Rally. it goes on till about two am and my husband wants to go with his friends(well, some are mine too) and drink a bit..so i get to play designated driver. all i have to say is he better not ignore me while he and his friends are carryin on.. or i'll be pissed. not that this happens but i'm worried being pregnant leaves me out while everyone else is partying. i'm not missing partying or anything, i just don't wanna be bored.. and now i'm feeling a bit whiny because i'm tired already and i know i'm gonna have to pee every 15 mins and we'll be walking around and my feet are already swollen..btw am i the only one that worries whether there will be a bathroom near and available every time they go anywhere, do anything outdoors(fishing..) or special events??pookiekke -

Liz... :-) I wish I could hold out for that same hope but I know exactly where he is right now and it so can't happen. I am sure I will get a sweet phone call or text from him tomorrow though. He is working really hard for us and our little bundle right now so he will work as much as possible the next two months with the hopes of being home when I deliver.Liz3 -

Liz...my husband is a boat Captain. We run a snorkeling & Dolphin cruise boat during the summer months. Then he goes to work offshore working in the oil field. He drives boats out to the oil rigs offshore in Louisianna, Texas & Mississippi. Right now he is working out of Texas but he was in Louisianna. The boats that he drives take supplies, groceries and staff out to the offshore rigs. I am still running our business here with out him so it is a lot of extra pressure and stress on me too right now. tabfurtado -

Yah, I am off and on too. Today I am ready to be to the end as quickly as possible. Some days I feel better and don't feel uncomfortable at all. Tonight I have knots in my low back on the right side and in my hip...so my abdomen and leg are both hurting all the way to my knee. My husband is working offshore and has been gone for two weeks and we don't know when he'll be home...so no one to rub my back. I am using an electric massager on it now. Our anniversary is tomorrow too.mommy2816 -

Well I am originally from Michigan where it was baseball and hockey. I dont like baseball and I have gotten away from Hockey since living in the south. I married into college football and Ray took the time to explain things to me so I understand it. Plus he plays Flag Football so I have to know a little bit about it.. I really like Soccer. I always have. so has Ray. Ray has played for over 20 yrs. He still plays and I love to watch him. i want to start back playing after I have this baby!Crystal907 -

Oh believe me it's been a few years and no running for me now. I'd like to get back into it after the new year, just a 3 mile run would be ideal. We'll see how I feel though. I figure I need to do something in January! I hope I can make a comeback fairly quickly. Nothing like all those celebs out there though, geez.
