Week 34: Day 232 - 238

Ummm, excuse me?? Hello! Can I get a little more room in here. I'm beginning to get squished!
(sigh) Don't these people realize that I've been developing for 33 weeks? I'd come out now but neither Mommy or I are quite ready yet. My gastrointestinal tract isn't fully developed yet (and won't be until I'm around 3 or 4 years old). Mommy's metabolism rate has increased by 25% though, so that helps with converting and storing the nutrients I need for energy. Fat is being stored under my skin so that I can better regulate my body temperature and use it as a source of energy immediately after birth. This week showed about an 8% increase in white fat. Go Me! Only 7% more to go. Also, my limbs now have tiny dimples at the elbows and knees and my gums are fairly ridged.

Well, no more somersaults for me. I can still turn a bit and wiggle, but I can't flip over anymore. No more room. Tis Boo. Otherwise, this was a pretty boring week. C-ya!
