Pregnancy 101

Pregnancy facts:
....by the end of your pregnancy, your blood volume will have increased by 30 to 50 %
....by the time you deliver your baby, your uterus will have expanded to about 1,000 times its original size
....by the 16th week of your pregnancy, your lungs are inhaling and exhaling up to 30 percent to 40 percent more air than they did before
....that when your uterus becomes too big to fit within your pelvis and your internal organs are shifted, your center of gravity changes
....by the time your baby is born, the distance around your rib cage will have expanded by 2 to 3 inches
....over the course of your pregnancy, your breasts will account for about 1 to 3 pounds of the weight you gain
....your cervical opening will stretch from zero to 10 centimeters in diameter so you can push your baby out (oh God...my knee feels weak now)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I am dedicating this song called 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' to you.
This version sung by Katharine McPhee was playing on the radio on my way to work and it reminded me so much of you.
Don't ask me how as we haven't even met. But the moment I heard this song, you came to my mind. All I can see and think of it's you!
I feel so grateful and blessed to have you.

This is the 1st song your mom is dedicating to you and it will be the song you and papa will dance in on your wedding day if you come out to be a baby girl.
See, I am already picturing you getting married. Isn't that scary.

This is what the songs says:
Somewhere over the rainbow, Way up high.
There's a land that I've heard of,Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I wish upon a star, (someday i wish upon a star)
Where the clouds are far far far behind me (and wake up where the clouds are far behinnnd me)Wherrrreeee.

All my troubles melt like lemondrops.
Way above the chimney tops, (way above the chimney tops)
That is where you will finnnnnnddddd meeeee.

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly.
If birds can fly over over the rainbow,Then why, then why can'tttttt IIIIIIIIIIII!
(birds fly high, why can't I)
Ohh wahy ohhh why ohhh why ohhhhh
(if birds fly high, why can't I)
If every little bluebirds fly (if every bird fly)
Over the rainbow,
Somebody tell me why, somebody tell me(if birds fly high, why can't I)
Whyyyyyyyyy cannnn't I.
