Forget your aching back (and everything else!) by trying to focus on your baby, who is now about six pounds and 20 inches long, with soft bones and cartilage to allow a safer journey through the exit door. Most of his systems (from circulatory to musculoskeletal) are ready for prime time, though his digestion system — which has done only practice runs so far — will kick into gear as he takes his first suckle at the breast or bottle.
Lucas is getting so big now it is starting to HURT a bit when he moves alot. Feet in my ribs, head in the side of my pelvis, it is just getting uncomfy and I still have 5 weeks left!! He is still technically transverse and if he doesn't turn so he can "drop down" into my pelvis I am really gonna be hurting soon, I already can't breathe half the time.. :( Not to mention if he doesn't turn I will be looking at a C-Section which I would like to avoid if possible! So I have been doing some little exercises that are supposed to help, I guess we shall see if it works. LOL His room is mostly done except hanging decorations and getting a few last minute things. We will be installing the car seat base this week and then on the 17th Gary will be taking it to get inspected. On the 11th I have my breastfeeding class and on the 18th we have a "baby steps to childcare" class that teaches silly basics like diapering and bathing, etc. I figured it couldn't hurt, right!? After checking out our clothing supplies we noticed we were low on sleepers in 0-3 mos size so today we went to Kohls and bought some more, plus some outfits so I think we are good on clothes. We don't have alot in newborn size because I still think he is going to be close to 8 pounds when he is born so I would rather wait and have to buy it later than have too much.. :) I think that is about all that is going on.. My next OB appt is at 36 weeks and then it is weekly after that. I have a feeling this next month is gonna fly!! :)
Here is my 35 Week Picture. :)
