In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature!
Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly.
For the Elton John lovers out there - baby’s got blue eyes.
This could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is.
Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a strengthening immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week survive!
So - go ahead and throw a mini-party right now because it’s pretty much a done deal - you've got a human-bean that's going to make it!

And how's mom doing?
Mom is doing good but sleeping has become uncomfortable, however sleeping on the couch is easy but she just can't get comfortable at night.  It could be all the kicking Baby W is doing or the fact that the growing belly takes up so much room!  Exercise is decreasing as it is getting harder and mom is losing her breath just from walking to the front door of Target from her car or even trying to get on one pair of shoe it requires a little break to catch her breath ;)  Food is getting old.....some days she doesn't feel hungry and other moments she could eat 9 muffins fresh out of the oven.  Last night sugar was the comfort food, not a typical thing mom goes for but candy was a must!   Mom is also astonished that Baby W can come at any moment and scared to lose the little thing she has come so attached to but excited to finally put a precious face to the little one that has been kicking her for months and also providing a spot for her to rub on her belly when she gets bored, tired or excited!
