Fetus Friday - Week 36

Lumpy is growing and growing and growing . . .and that's all really Lumpy has left to do before his/her birthday.

Baby Center has this to say about Lumpy's development:

Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds and is more than 18 1/2 inches long.

Baby Center has this to say about me:

Now that your baby is taking up so much room, you may have trouble eating a normal-size meal. Smaller, more frequent meals are often easier to handle at this point.

Yup, smaller more frequent meals - spinach breakfast shake for breakfast-appetizer, girl scout cookies for breakfast, wheat thins for second breakfast, tootsie rolls for breakfast dessert, bagel twinkie for lunch-appetizer, mcnuggets for lunch, fruit snacks for lunch dessert, granola bar for afternoon snack, cheese sandwich for dinner, bowl of cereal for dinner dessert. Sounds about perfect, right?

I really haven't had SUPER strong cravings during my third trimester - but I have been on a chicken mcnugget or chicken strip kick. I figure - it's kind of like protein, so it must be kind of good for Lumpy.
