Week 39: What’s Happening?

…probably able to flex his limbs now.

…brain is still rapidly developing—being a smarty pants runs in the family ;]

…nails may extend past his fingertips.

…water breaking possibly, in which case she needs to call the doctor.

…more heartburn, hemorrhoids, pelvic pressure, and trouble catching her breath.

…the urge to nest. No stressing mommy, you won’t get everything done.
