"Baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because she's so snug in your womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight."- Babycenter.com
Going on week 35 now. I've developed a minor case of carpal tunnel in my left limb, as well as my right, but it's not nearly as bad as the left, which is funny to me because I'm a righty. I brought up the concern to the doctor, and I'm told it's normal. How is this excruciating pain "normal"? Oh well, I will learn to live with it. I only have roughly 5 weeks left. John still argues that baby will arrive late, where I believe she will arrive early. We shall see!
Speaking of when baby arrives, we thought we had officially named our little peanut, but as it turns out, we're now undecided. One thing I won't back down on is her middle name, you'll know why later. But her first name remains a mystery, now not only to you, but to us. Fortunately we have a little bit of time left.
