Week 35: Day 239 - 245

Did you know that 85% of babies are born within 2 weeks of their due date? That's RIGHT NOW! So if I was born today, I'd have a 85%, which is a good, solid B. Go Me! I also had another non-stress test this week, like I'll have every week from now on. Of course I passed with flying colors! Many of my bones are still mostly cartilage, which makes me more flexible and thus will help during delivery. Another thing that happened this week was...
ooh pretty light... must turn towards the light...
Doh, sorry about that. It's an automatic response, I can't help it. I'm sensitive to light and will usually turn towards it. My temperature hovers at around 32 deg above Mommy's. Wow!

Mommy had her weekly sonogram on 8/27. Everything looks great, but that's because everyone was looking at me! Tee Hee! My weight is supposedly 6lbs, 14oz, which puts me at around 8lbs if I'm born on the due date. Mommy's regular doc appointment was on 8/29 and again, I did GREAT! IN fact, the term used was, and I quote, "perfect". Mommy's cervical lining is 50% thinned. She has no dilation and her blood pressure is good.

Place your bets now! Leave a comment with how much you think I'll weigh and how long I'll be at birth! Thanks!

You're in the home stretch. Be kind to your mommy, it's tough being a vessel for human life.

Can't wait to see you.
