beanie's baby ( rhymes doesnt it?)
Anyway, this thread is set up to track the progress of her new
baby, week by week, with permission from beanie.
Please do not crap in this thread and I will only unlock this
thread for updating the weekly progress of lil' pukabeanie.
Week 17
Pukabeanie is abt the size of an avocado. He'll be playing with his
umbilical cord and practising breathing by inhaling & exhaling
amniotic fluid through his lungs. 
Week 18
Pukabeanie is now nearly 14cm long and weighs approx 200gms. His
movements are mostly gentle, fluttering sensations. But once a
while, his kicks are more vigorous and obvious
Week 19
Pukabeanie is now twice as big as he was last month. Although
things may seem calm on the surface, he is kicking, flexing,
reaching, rolling, and even sucking his thumb now. His hearing is
now functiong and he will be listening to my heartbeat
Week 20
Pukabeanie now measures around 15 cm long & weighs abt 255 gm.
Hair on his scalp is sprouting. The nerve cells serving the senses
taste, smell, hearing, seeing, & touch are now developing
in their specialised areas of the brain
Week 21
Pukabeanie now measures around 18.5 cm long & weighs abt 400
gm. He's swallowing more amniotic fluid now which is good practice
for his digestive system. And he's kicking more often and
vigorously than before
Week 22
Pukabeanie's initial fluttering movements have turned into fully
fledged kicks & nudges, & it's as tho' he is practising
martial arts. I'm also starting to decipher a pattern to his
activity (he's usu very active during my mealtimes).
Week 23
Pukabeanie's skin is still quite wrinkled cos he has so much
growing still to do. But his face & body are beginning to look
more like those of a newborn. His tooth buds have also formed
beneath his gum line.
Week 24
Pukabeanie's hearing and sense of movement are well developed now.
His lungs are also developing to prepare for breathing. And he's
also started blinking his eyelids 
Week 25
Pukabeanie's brain is growing rapidly & he's filling up th
space in my uterus. He's abt 22cm now and weighs abt 600gms. His
taste buds are forming and so is his sweet tooth (that should
explain my choc cravings :p)
Week 26
Pukabeanie is now weighs about 900gms and is approx 23 cm long. He
makes breathing movements but has no air in his lungs yet. He is
responsive to touch now and and his heart is beating so strongly
that it may be heard with a stethoscope.
Week 27
Pukabeanie is becoming more sensitive to sound & if daddy
Pukadon talks to him now, he might learn to recognise his voice.
He'll probably be abt 38cm long from head to toe & weighs abt
900gms
Week 28
Pukabeanie is growing steadily and gaining weight rapidly in
preparation for D-Day. He sleeps & wakes at regular intervals
and may be beginning to dream as his brain is active
Week 29
Pukabeanienow weighs approx 1.3kg and measures abt 42cm from top to
toe. He can now open his eyes and turn in my tummy if he notices a
continuous bright light shining fr the outside. His fingernails are
also formed.
Week 30
Pukabeanie now weighs approx 1.3kg and measures abt 44cm from head
to toe. His head is getting bigger and his brain is developing
billions of neurons at an amazing rate. His bones are also growing
at a faster rate which means I have to drink more milk
Week 31
Pukabeanie's lungs n digestive tract are almost fully develooped.
He continues to open n shut his eyes n can probably distinguish
light from dark and even track a light source. He also now has
eyebrows and eyelashes
Week 32
Pukabeanie probably weighs abt 1.8kg & measures 45cm now. And
he may be running out of space to move around in my tummy. But
gosh, he still has plenty of growing to go. His organs r continuing
to mature n he's passing water fr his bladder
Week 33
Pukabeanie may not be sucking its fingers and thumbs, preparing for
the process of breastfeeding. He now measures approx 19.5inches
from head to toe and approx 2.1kg.
Week 34
Pukabeanie now weighs approx 2.2kg & measures abt 48cm fr head
to toe. His skull is still quite pliable n not completely joined so
tat he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal.
Week 35
Pukabeanie now weighs approx 2.5kg & measures abt 49cm fr top
to toe. He's filling out and getting rounder. And his hearing is
fully developed which means he can now hear me very well 
Week 36
Pukabeanie now weighs approx 2.6kg and doesn't have much room to
roam about. He's sporting fingernails and has a fully developed
pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste
products.
Week 37
Pukabeanie now weighs about 2.6kg and is just abt a week away from
seeing this world. Can't wait to meet him face to face !
