3.....and it's a crowd (when sleeping)

it looks to be a rainy day and that's fine by me b/c i'd like to lay low! little miss maeve is certainly sucking the life out of me now-a-days and i am tired. she's very active at night and doesn't like it when i sleep on my stomach or side and you're not supposed to sleep on your back so apparently i must learn to sleep standing up! i can't wait to count all of those little fingers and toes that have been poking and prodding me so much!
for some reason, this made me think of the other day when we took amelie to pizza hut (her absolute favorite place) and she was randomly screaming and throwing things all over the place and steve looked at her very seriously and said, "when you are 13 i am going to follow you to your first day of junior high. i am going to walk into all of your classes and thoroughly embarrass you. i will not be a cool dad." it really made me laugh-that husband of mine, gotta love him!!!!
so, i suppose the only plan for today is to re-wash all of the baby clothes that have been previously laundered and lovingly folded (i do not even fold my own clothes!) because they have been sitting in the basement getting basement-ey and cat hairy. big yuck.
mmmm....new apartment...so close....
here's the update on maevey baby!
Week 35
Your Baby's Development


In week 35, the average baby weighs around five to six pounds and measures about 16 to 19 inches in length. Your baby will begin to gain weight more rapidly than ever before…adding about one half to three-quarters of a pound each week from this point forward. And healthy fat is being deposited all over your baby's body, especially around the shoulders.

Because of her size, your baby may move around less as her surroundings become more cramped. Her head may be resting on your pubic bone in preparation for labor and delivery.

Other developments are also taking place this week:

The central nervous system will continue to mature.
The lungs will most likely be fully developed by Week 35.
Baby is beginning to develop daily activity cycles. You may notice that Baby is often more active at night when you're trying to rest!
Even thought they won't be considered “full-term” until the end of the 40th week, Baby's respiratory and digestive systems are nearly mature.
Baby's immune system is starting to develop.
The umbilical cord is now about 20 inches long and one to two centimeters in diameter; at birth, it will be about two feet long and a half-inch thick.
