35 weeks - Home Stretch!

How Many Weeks? 35 weeks Size of Baby?   Baby is as big as a pineapple or a honeydew melon. Baby measures about 18.2 inches from head to heel. From here on out, he or she won't get much longer, but will keep plumping up. Your 35-week fetus now weighs about 5.3 pounds, and will put on a pound or more of baby fat before you meet him or her. Symptoms?  More and more braxton hicks contractions. Most always at night after plopping down for the day but randomly in the middle of the day.  I guess my body is just gearing up now!  I also feel like the baby is beginning to drop. Words I said many times with my own kids but they never actually did... but this time feels different. Much more lower pressure and when I buckle my seatbelt I use to have a flat area for it to sit still and now that part is not so flat... Sleep?  Still mostly great.  I've had a cold so that has hindered some of my great sleep nights, but overall no complaints. Miss Anything?...
