35 Weeks

The baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds and is about 18 inches from head to toe. You may find an elbow, foot or head protruding from your stomach when the baby stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of the uterus and abdomen stretches thinner, it will let in more light. The baby wills start to develop daily activity cycles. This week, the little one is sporting fingernails, and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. It's liver is also able to produce some waste product. At this point, there is much more baby and much less amniotic fluid in your uterus which has expanded to 1000 times its original size!

I went for my first ever prenatal massage today - Oh. My. God. I have no idea why this idea hasn't taken off yet! I don't hear from a lot of other preggo's that they've gone for massage. Already, my hips are less sore - it was unreal, like all the pain was rubbed away! I still feel a little bruising in my pelvic area, but I can honestly say, I'm like a new person! I booked another for 2 weeks from now, putting me 3 weeks before my due date, and exactly when I'd like to start my own little natural labour induction!

Anyone interested in walking the mall for hours?:D
