In our 36th week...

He now measures anywhere from 19 to 22 inches long and might weigh about 6 lbs (but probably more in our case)! Many of my apps say he's about the size of a large cantaloupe.  As our due date approaches (only a month from tomorrow!), our little one will settle deeper in the pelvis. This reduces pressure on my rib cage, allowing me more room to expand my diaphragm (yay!), but now there may be more pressure on your bladder (boo).

By week 35, Clinton’s kidneys are completely developed. His liver is also beginning to produce waste. In fact, a majority of his growth is already done. However, you should expect him to put on some more weight over the next few weeks. As space is at a premium, I may not feel as much tossing and turning inside of me, but I will definitely feel some healthy punches and kicks. Clinton has always been a mover and a shaker and while it's slowed a bit, he is still very active!

Other fun facts:

• Now, his hearing is fully developed, and he responds best to high-pitched noises. 
• My uterus has grown about 1,000 times its original size!!
• Clinton will continue to put on 1/2 lb or more each week until his arrival
