Though I keep getting physically larger, as for the weight gain, I lost another lb. Perhaps its a pattern, lose one week and then gain double the next? (Thats what happened last time) I have a feeling that one week I am going to step on the scale and be up about 10 lbs and that will put all the weight wavering questions to rest :)
Me @ 35 Weeks
ePregnancy talks just about how I feel: "You’ve gained approximately 30 lbs, and the strain is starting to show. You’re feeling moody and irritable, more like a beach ball than a supermodel." Actually I dont think I have been very moody (maybe you should ask Jeff to confirm this), but I know that I am often irritable. Its tough not being able to to do the things you want to do, and getting slowed down doing the few things you can. A walk around the block with the dog (or to Starbucks) has become more like a challenging journey versus the quick jolt it was in days past. I assume the lack of sleep can only add to that irritability, as I get up each morning still tired and often cranky :(
The Baby @ 35 Weeks
Height: 18.19 inches
Weight: 5.25 Pounds
What to Expect says that most of Baby Schneider's growth over the next month or so will be in weight (with a gain of anywhere from one pound to several), not height (baby's pretty much reached the in utero limit in that department). So while the baby wont get a whole long longer, it does get bigger as it accumulates fat at a rapid pace. In the middle of pregnancy a baby's weight is made up of only 2% fat; that percentage has now soared to closer to 15% and will increase to 30% over the next 5 weeks!
