29 weeks!

By 28 weeks, they say my baby's lungs are developed to the point that survival is possible outside my womb. His/her eyelids open and close and he/she should be weighing in around 2.5 pounds and be approximately 15 inches long.
We had a doctors appointment on Monday where my doctor confirmed that I have so far gained 15.5 pounds, my blood pressure is perfect, the baby's heart beat is strong and regulated, and most interestingly, the baby's head is already in the downward position.
When he said this, I of course immediately thought, "But wait! does that mean I could go into labor early?"
According to many baby books and websites, the baby doesn't typically position him or herself head down until the 32 week.
But, of course, this poses no threat whatsoever. As it seems, I am simply having the easiest and most beautiful pregnancy possible, with absolutely no worries of any kind.
The baby being "engaged," as they call it, can mean many things. Either the baby is simply swimming around and will continue to move and wiggle in and out of his required birthing position, he/she is quite large, and has been forced more or less into that position due to limited space, or he/she is just getting a head start on things, hehe.
Either way, I am still counting on my due date to be February 22nd, my Grandpa Sherman's birthday, a Pisces, dreamy and independent.
And if my motherly intuition does not fail me, the baby will be born a little boy.

As for other news:
Next week I begin my pre-natal classes, twice a week I will go to the hospital to learn how to breathe, Claudio will be attending as well in order to help remind me to breathe. (probably more important than me learning hehe)
The house is so close to the finish! I can hardly wait to post photos for you all to see the fruit or our hard work!
In the meantime, I love and miss you all and hope that Thanksgiving was fantastic, even if I wasn't there to celebrate it with you.
