All About Baby - Week 35

At 35 weeks, your baby is considered full-term and he looks developed.

(YIKES!!! I told him he needs to stay put for a while though.)

The soft, fuzzy hairs that once covered his body begin to disappear. 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. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. He continues to add fat layers, which will help him stay warm once he's out of the womb. During these last weeks, your baby is developed sleeping patterns (and they often have little to do with night and day!)

How Big Is Baby?

Your unborn baby weighs in between about 5 1/4 pounds and five pounds, 10 ounces and stretches to around 12 inches crown to rump (Length: more than 18 inches, head to heel.). Your baby, now as hefty as a honeydew melon and doesn't have much room to maneuver in your belly.

I miss that!!! I can't believe you are that close already! I'm curious to see if he is on time, early or late.
