Claire: Is def. a mover. She loves moving like crazy person! I swear she's trying to let herself out. She's like superman, ya know how he extends his arms and flies through things? Well this lil baby does that with his feet through my ribs/side/belly. Sometimes it hurts! She's a lil strong one. Wonder if her personality outside of the womb will be similar to now...a mover, a hiccup-per.
Thirty Six Weeks
*Your baby is almost ready and most likely, so are you! The only organ still to mature is the lungs. While certainly you are both growing anxious to meet, remember that each day (up to 42 weeks), that your little one stays within your womb will multiply his chances to breathe on his own.
*If he hasn't already, this week your baby may drop into the birth canal. While breathing for mom becomes easier, walking may be the exact opposite! If he's not your first baby, this "lightening" may not occur until right before labor.
*Fat is dimpling your baby's elbows and knees, and forming creases in the neck and wrists.
*His skin is growing smooth and, shall we say it, "baby" soft.
*His gums are very rigid. It won't be many months before you'll see his teeth.
*He has a fully developed pair of kidneys and his liver has begun processing some waste products.
*Your child's average size is now 18.66 inches (47.4cm) and 5.78 pounds (2622 g). Between now and birth he will gain about an ounce a day! He's about the size of a crenshaw melon:
