Thirty Five

Today marks 35 weeks and 35 days left! I wish I had something exciting to share, but I don't. I have felt really good all week though, which has been so nice. This weekend we don't really have any plans. The weather is really starting to cool off here, it was only 62 degrees when I drove to work this morning!

My doctor will be doing another ultrasound on Tuesday to see if Aiden has flipped yet. I have a feeling that he has, but we will know for sure very shortly. Let's take a vote - who thinks he has flipped?

Your Body: Your baby has pretty much taken over your entire torso by now. Over the past few months, he's squished and mushed all of your organs out of the way.

Before all this pregnancy stuff, your uterus was a small ball the size of your fist and was tucked neatly away behind your pelvis. Today your uterus is the size of a small watermelon and reaches all the way up to your ribs.

At this point in your pregnancy all the blood has gone to your belly ... literally. Nearly 1/6 of your body's total blood volume is chugging around in the vessels in your uterus. So that's why you feel so lightheaded all the time!

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.

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.

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