Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
How far along?: 35 weeks exactly
How big is baby?: Over 5 pounds now, she's getting to be a chunker :)
Maternity clothes?: We're not discussing clothing options anymore, I hate everything on me at this point.
Stretch marks?: Still none...keep crossing those fingers!
Sleep?: I've been waking up on my back in the middle of the night for some reason the last week or so, makes me nervous when I do that. Sleep is good though!
Best moment this week?: Well, the bathroom isn't even almost finished (like we had planned) but we had a nice time hanging with family all day Sunday for Josh's 4th birthday!
Movement?: Lot's of rolling around going on in there! She still likes to sit up in my ribs every once in a while, it has gotten a little better though...hopefully she's dropped a bit!
Food cravings?: Love me some chocolate, still!
Labor signs?: Still just random Braxton Hicks Contractions, although now they're starting to feel more crampy rather than the balling up/tightening I was feeling before.
Belly button in or out?: I don't think it's ever going to pop!
What I miss: The pool. I've been dying to go and relax but we just haven't had the time.
What I'm looking forward to: Hopefully finishing up the bathroom re-model by this weekend. Those are high hopes :)
Well, our little "weekend bathroom renovation" didn't exactly go as planned. Jordan has been working about 50-60 hours a week and ended up working until 3:00 on Saturday so he didn't get very much time to work on the bathroom. Then on Sunday we had lots of family stuff going on, so he hardly got to work on it then either! He pretty much just got the old tile ripped up and the ugly plastic and chair rails off the walls. Whoever put up that ugly plastic that went 1/2 way up the wall used so much glue that it completely tore up the walls, so we're going to have to replace it with all new dry wall. Once we get the dry wall hung, we have to prime & paint (still debating colors), put in new flooring, replace the toilet and then we can finally install our new vanity (which I love!). Our goal is to get this all complete by the end of the weekend, we'll see if that happens :)
