Week 35 begins...

Your baby stands tall this week - if he or she could stand, that is - at about 20 inches, and continues to follow the half a pound a week plan, weighing in at about 5 and a half big ones. While growth will taper off when it comes to height (the average full termer is born at about 20 inches), your baby will continue to pack on the pounds up until delivery day. Something else he or she will be packing on in the few weeks that remain are brain cells. Brain development continues at a mind boggling pace, making baby a little on the top heavy side. And speaking of tops, it's likely your baby's bottom is. Most babies have settled into a head down, bottoms up position in mom's pelvis, or will soon. That's a good thing, since it's easier on you if your baby's head (the biggest part of his or her body) exits first during delivery. Here's another plus: baby's head may be big, but it's still soft (at least, the skull is), allowing that tight squeeze through the birth canal to be a little less tight.

p.s. the bold parts are all hilarious to me considering that fact that our wee rebel is doing the total opposite.
