35 weeks

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.


My uterus is definitely growing up under my ribs now. When I sit down I can really feel it under my ribs and it is very uncomfortable. I also have a ton of pain in my pelvis and it hurts to walk. I feel like I have a cantaloupe just sitting in my pelvis, right on top of my bladder. Grayson is getting so strong. I dont remember Grant ever kicking so hard and with such force. Sometimes he really hurts me. Although I hate Grant being back to school and I miss him, I am getting a lot done around the house so that it is ready for Grayson to come home to. And it will be half way presentable for visitors to BRING MEALS after he is born. LOL
Jared and I keep commenting to eachother how different and weird it will be to have a new baby in the house after so long. We are all very excited for him to arrive though. 5 weeks or less and we will be bringing our little sweetheart home!! 5 weeks seems so soon but then again it seems like forever. We just cant wait!!
