week 35: is it cramped in here, or is it just me?

At this point, Dr. Rosenberg is somewhere between five and six pounds, and is pretty much done "forming." He has definitely descended a bit, and is in position to come out...in a few weeks. For now, all he has to do is hang around and put on weight. Not very exciting, but what are ya gonna do?

In an interesting note, Dr. Overboard's uterus has now expanded to nearly 15 times its original size! Yowza.

As for Overboard, she's definitely noticed that the good doctor has encroached upon her bladder's personal space. Frequent trips to the restroom aside, Overboard is feeling pretty good, albeit a tad sleepy. Yes, the insomnia factor of pregnancy has kicked in, and a good night's sleep is unfortunately eluding my wonderful wife. She is dealing with the renewed fatigue so common in the third trimester, and often goes to bed early. However, whether it's the good doctor or hormones, she tends to wake up in the middle of the night, or the wee hours of the morning. Always one to look on the bright side of things, I told her to think of this little "hiccup" as training for when the good doctor finally arrives. She wasn't amused. Must be cranky from that lack of sleep...
