Speaking of Baby Scout , what is she up to this week?

*Baby Scout starts the third trimester today

*Baby Scout is 189 days, and we are 67.5% through

*Baby Scout has about 91 days left in my belly

*Baby Scout is approximately 14.4 inches and about 2 pound 3 oz

*Baby Scout's hearing is fully developed and the nerves in her ears are completely formed

*Baby Scout is completely aware of sound and sometimes moves to the rhythm of the music

*Baby Scout's heart rate will will increase in response to sound

*Baby Scout's brain stem is becoming more refined

*Baby Scout can practice breathing in and out and can even cry

*Baby Scout's brain waves are similar to a newborn

*If Baby Scout was born today, her survival rate would be 85% and her rate of serious medical complications would be 40% (I hope Baby Scout makes it to the end of school)

*Baby Scout is about the same size as a head of cauliflower

Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
