Another week closer!

Here we are AT Week 35 but IN Week 36! YAY! My countdown pregnancy clock says we have 34 days left!

Here is a Week 36 picture of a baby from one of my books:

And the following is the info I got in my emails (my comments are in italics):

If you have been short of breath, it is due to your uterus being underneath your rib cage, causing you to have difficulty breathing.
I have had some difficulty breathing. I get winded every now and then, especially when I lay down. It takes me a while for my breathing to slow down so I can start relaxing.

Towards the end of your pregnancy your baby drops, which is called lightening. The baby is beginning to settle deeper into your pelvis which relieves pressure on your diaphragm, so you are not so short of breath.
Great! Bring it on!

Lightening can increase the pressure on your bladder, causing more trips to the bathroom.
Oh good. I knew there would be a catch! ;)

Your baby is continuing to grow and most likely measures between 15 ¾ to 18 inches long and weighs 5 ½ to 6 pounds.
I don’t know how long Baby Tse is. I think he’s probably right on target because Ray and I are both of average height. But if most babies at this stage weight 5 ½ to 6 pounds, I guess that our guy is weighing anywhere from 6 to 7 pounds. :)

The vast majority of your baby's growth is complete by 35 weeks. His/her kidneys are completely developed, and the liver is beginning to process waste. Because your baby has grown so much, you will notice that he/she will no longer be performing an aerobic workout. There just is not enough room for somersaults. However, this does not mean you will not feel your baby move. His/her kickboxing routine should stay the same.
I definitely still feel him move, which I am thankful for. It gives me peace of mind. Maybe it will just shorten the amount of time his “kickboxing routine” lasts…that would be helpful.
