35 Weeks

SOOO far behind on blogging! We have been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY here at the Craig's House trying to get things in order for Miss Morgan's arrival (and probably a few weeks earlier than 40 weeks!) We passed 35 weeks this week, and are looking forward to the BIG 36 week "TERM" mark!

So here is the scoop!

Week 35:It's getting cramped in here!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 35

Congratulations! You’re now carrying over 5 pounds of baby-goodness - not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself.

Developmentally, your wee womb-tenant has the fat-factory running at full tilt while their digestive system puts the finishing touches on critical organs in preparation for their first meal (remember - before birth, all of their nutrition was blood via the umbilical cord).

With their first meal in mind, it's time to look forward to one of the most important things you'll do for your infant - namely, keeping them alive with nothing more than your breasts.
