35th week.

Really 35 weeks? No. I can't only have 5 weeks left. There is no way 32 weeks have passed since I pee'd on that stick. Not possible.

So even though time has absolutely flown by, i'm pretty miserable this week. Thank God this has been like the coolest summer of my life, because I'm pretty sure I would have died if it wasn't. My hips, honestly feel like they may explode. (Thank you to all of my friends who have made it full term in their pregnancies and FAILED to mention this part to me). sheesh. Also, after laying down for more than 10 mins and then getting up feel as though I have been kicked in the lady parts HARD. from the outside, not the inside, its all on the outside. Really HARD. it hurts. bad. I associate it to the blood flow changes, not sure if that's the case or not but wow. So this is my nice warning to those of you reading this who have not had the pleasure...be watching for it.

The baby has been SO SO SO active this week, which I love. It is definitely out of room in there. My mom, dad and I were testing gliders at NFM yesterday and my mom just happened to be looking at my stomach, as was I..and it literally jumped all over the place. I really wish I had, had our video camera. it was crazy..my mom died laughing, my dad missed it...but baby kept doing it for a while, then my stomach was lop sided, which is the coolest thing ever. This baby is long though...it's head i'm pretty sure is already down in my pelvis, since my hips hurt so bad (i read today that's a sign)...and I still have feet up in the top of my rib cage. and the heartburn, oh my lordy..if this kid doesn't come out with 5 inches of hair..i'm gonna be pretty upset....

we didn't find a glider...furniture places get a little crazy with their pricing...

poor dillon has worked really hard this week (he's had one day off in two weeks) and I miss him, but the OT couldn't have come at a better time as we rush buying last minute things! He has surgery to cut the metal out of his arm tomorrow at 2, say a prayer for him, it's no big deal but there will still be a knife cutting into him...it's kind of funny the hole the piece of metal made is like, less than a pen tip...he'll probably have a one inch scar. lol...

that's all, hopefully i'll have an update after tomorrows appt! i'll post pics in a minute..must start supper first..

35 Weeks Pregnant

Your Baby
This week the final touches are being added to your mini-masterpiece and most of his development is going to packing on the pounds. While baby's movements may be becoming less jerky, he may do his final somersault in the womb soon—to put himself into the head-down position for birth. Other fascinating facts:

Your little Karate Kid can't quite pack the punch he used to due to the limited space inside the womb these days. You're likely to feel more wiggles, stretches and rolls than kicks and jabs. The extra layer of fat your baby is adding will create those cute dimples on your baby's elbows and knees. His liver has begun processing his waste products, so you know which organ to thank when he has his first blowout up the back of his onesie.

Baby's nails are growing so long they may curl over the tips of his tiny fingers and toes before he sees a pair of clippers. He'll be in serious need of a mani-pedi once he's born (as will you).

Your baby is now about 5½ pounds and over 18 inches long—about the size of one of those price-club sheet cakes.
