Week 35

Little Kevin is standing tall this week, that is he should be about 20 inches and continues to gain 1/2 pound per week. While growth will taper off when it comes to height, Kevin will continue to pack on the pounds until delivery day. Something else he will be packing on in the next few weeks are brain cells. Brain development continues at a mid-boggling pace, making Kevin a little top-heavy. And speaking of tops, his bottom is actually his top. He has settled into a head-down, bottoms-up position in my pelvis. This is a good thing, since it's easier on me if the biggest part of his body exits first during delivery. Kevin's head may be big, but it is still soft, allowing that tight squeeze through the birth canal to be a little less tight. Until next week... pray that little Kevin doesn't come before big Kevin returns home on July 4th.
