How cool is that I'm 35 weeks today and only 35 days until the EDD. We had our Dr's appointment and everything went well. Baby's heartbeat was 140 and I was measuring right on. The Dr. still would like to do a growth ultrasound to see how big/small the baby is so we get to see our little one on Monday. We're hoping that the tech does a really good job and doesn't reveal anything about the our little one's gender. I'm so excited to wait until birth to find out what I've been carrying these 9 months. I've been feeling great, no swelling and still able to wear the wedding ring. We have the tour of the hospital this week so I'm sure that's going to be a pretty surreal feeling. This baby is quite active and I love the feeling of him/her moving around and Wayne is getting so giddy over this little one's arrival. I LOVE it
Here's what going on with Baby Nowacki and a bump photo:
Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds/ 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches/ 45 centimetres from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.
This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.
There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds/ 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water -- your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks like tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.
