Week 35

We are getting close now. The baby is huge, it takes up every bit of space it can. Amy is having regular checkups now and the Dr. says everything is going well. The baby gets the hiccups quite often and you can see them play out on the outside of Amy's belly. About.com has this to say:

Your baby weighs about 4 pounds 12 ounces (2.15 kilograms) right now, although later in pregnancy there is more room for variation than in the beginning of pregnancy. Your baby is putting on an average of .5 pounds a week at this point. The length is reaching 18 inches from head to toe, as opposed to the earlier measurements from crown to rump. All organ systems have been present for a long time, now they are just putting on the final touches before birth.
