35 Weeks on NYE

Preston is the size of a honeydew melon!

He is over 18 inches long and weighs around 5 and 1/4 lbs. His kidneys and liver are fully developed and working like they will outside of my belly. Most of his physical developments are complete. Now it's all about gaining weight. Here is what he looks like in there:

I had a great week and am feeling good. My blood pressure is still in the low-normal range, still haven't felt any contractions (false or real), still a little anemic, and still not getting a solid night's sleep. I am up about every 3 hours. My heartburn is not as bad (thank goodness - hope that keeps up!) Just feeling big, clumsy and awkward, but that is to be expected. From here on out, I am at the doctor every week getting "checked". This pregnancy is just flying by! We spent some of Christmas day with my family watching him move around in my belly. His movements are so big now, you can see little elbows, hands, knees and feet jabbing out just by looking at my stomach.

Speaking of Christmas day, for a child that is not even here yet, Preston was seriously spoiled by his family. Everyone from grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles got him stuff. I didn't really think about this until this past weekend, but Preston is the first boy born in Brian's family since Brian! I think all the little girl cousins are excited :)

Here I am at 35 weeks:

35 down, 5 to go!
