All movement is still focused on the right side of my body, and that is clearly where he prefers to hang out. Some nights I lay on my back and look at how my stomach is sagging to the right. I use my hands to "push" him to the left and it's hilarious to see him just plop back to the right side.
Until recently, I never had a strong sense of his size. I felt little movements here and there but it was never enough to really understand that a small, 5 pound human was moving around in there. I used to read the emails that said "your baby is as big as a pineapple" but had a hard time visualizing that. Now I feel movement from all directions and can really tell that there's something massive growing in there. I can tell that not only is there is something the size of a large pineapple in there, it also has arms and legs. I continue to not believe that he's still going to continue to get bigger. At this point I think I'll be in denial forever.
We had our last baby shower two weekends ago and I am officially done with long, 5 to 6 hour car drives. A while back we had to decide whether or not we were going to attend a wedding on August 6th, even though it was within that "last four weeks" window of time when they recommend you stay close to home. Ultimately, I decided that I didn't want to take the risk and we decided not to go. Now, I am sooo glad that we decided that way. After all of these showers and parties and long drives in the car I realized that there is NO WAY that I'm going to be up for that in three more weeks. Absolutely no way.
Anyway, the week 35 picture is more of a full body one, taken by DH. I'm going to use this soon in a comparison like I did at 26 weeks. If I cringed then, I'm probably going to faint this time.
If I didn't know better, I would say that there were two in there.
It's like a bullet protruding from my abdomen. No wonder people are always asking how I feel - I look so uncomfortable!!!
Comparison coming soon....
