Fetus Friday - Week 35

I remember when I first found out I was pregnant, Lumpy's birthday seemed like something SO FAR in the future. I know the last couple of weeks I've mentioned time going by quickly, but it really has, and as I think about how Lumpy will be here in less than 6 weeks - I am both extremely excited and extremely petrified.

Baby Center has this to say about Lumpy:

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. 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.

Lumpy's movements have become very odd feeling. Instead of the normal kicks and punches; Lumpy is stretching and jabbing. Sometimes I actually have to poke Lumpy's foot down because it's protruding so far out. My stomach now moves in waves and it kind of freaks Buttin out.

Baby Center has this to say about me:

Your uterus — which was entirely tucked away inside your pelvis when you conceived — now reaches up under your rib cage. If you could peek inside your womb, you'd see that there's more baby than amniotic fluid in there now.

Well, this certainly makes sense considering all the weird movements I'm feeling. I certainly feel like my torso is ALL LUMPY.

  1. I hope you have taken pictures of Lumpy's foot as it protrudes. Years from now, Lumpy will think its funny to see his foot or arm pressing against your belly.
    PS: Keep up the good work.
