35 Week Survey

Sleep: I miss it:(

Best moment this week: The one night that I did sleep 8 hours straight, with the help of a glass of wine- don't worry, Dr said it was ok. It's even recommended occasionally.

Movement: Getting few and far between, but he's running out of room in there, so it's expected.

Food cravings: Chocolate ice cream and cottage cheese, but not together.

Belly Button in or out? Still got it!

What I miss: Pants without huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.

What I am looking forward to: Pants that don't have huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.

Weekly Wisdom: "It is not physically possible to be pregnant forever."

Milestones: Just getting closer every day!

35 Weeks

Theoretically only 5 weeks to go!

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.
