Week 35

Okay, okay! I know I am really late on this one but things are getting just a little bit crazy around here. Really, they are...

We started TOAG this past week - TOAG stands for Training Ordinary Apprentices to Go. This is a year long intensive training program for the mission field. We attend a meeting/class every Monday night, we are required to bring the girls (this is tons of fun) :-), and we have lots of homework! So, considering my days are taken with caring for two young girls and a home - my nights have been relinquished to study. I have been spending any free time unpacking the boxes that are still left (most in the baby's room)and trying to tie up any loose ends (mostly painting) on the project front so I can just enjoy the new baby and the visit from my mom. Hence, my not being able to blog until now.

So without further delay...here's the stats for week 35!

This is day number 251 and I am 35 weeks pregnant!
I have 29 days or 4 weeks left, and are 89.6% of the way there.
Baby's age since conception is 237 days or 33 weeks. We are due on 12/4/2007.

The baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). He will continue to gain about half a pound per week until you deliver.

His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products.

Stem cells in the bone marrow continue to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to maintain a healthy immune system, but there is not really any development remaining for arms, legs, brain or organs.

Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

There it is – week 35 info, just in time for me to post week 36 tomorrow. 

Please continue to pray that the baby’s lungs will be fully developed by November 14th when we do our amnio. Thanks!
