I'm 35 weeks today...
I'm sleeping more than normal. I'm lazy more than normal.
I'm just plain ready to have this baby, to see his precious face and to give him hugs and kisses for the rest of his life!
I have lots of plans the rest of the week. I'm going to see my sister tomorrow, her birthday was Monday and I miss her tons!! On Friday night, my best friend and I are going to see 'Water for Elephants' and then this weekend is Easter! I hope to spend lots of time with family and enjoying my niece and nephew's on Sunday.
Oh, and last night I got my first real dose of pregnancy heartburn. Eventually it subsided and I could sleep... but that did NOT feel good and I hope that I don't have it anymore! (:
Here is what 3DPregnancy has to say about my baby this week...
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.
That heartburn stuff is no joke! I had it almost everyday at the end and thought some nights I was literally having a heart attack! I finally broke down and took Zantac, it was all that would help! Sometimes the Tums power things would help, but they were too hard to find! Hope it doesn't stick around, I know it stinks!
