outside reading blog #9

For this outside reading blog I read another section of the book Marley and Me. It was written by the author John Grogan. In this chapter it goes into the pregnancy of John's wife, Jenny. Jenny is on bed rest because the baby wanted to come out twenty one weeks. At twenty one weeks the baby the fetus can fit into the palm of a hand. The weight is under a pound and its eyes are not opened yet. For these reasons the doctors put Jenny on bed rest so that the baby wouldn't want to come out. They put Jenny on bed rest for at least 12 weeks. This will give the baby enough time to grow and be at a healthy size to come out of the mother. Right after these twelve weeks Jenny felt the baby coming and went to the hospital. Right as she got situated in the bed Jenny had Conor.
