29 Weeks

Well, it's week 29 and the baby should weigh in at nearly three pounds now and measure about 17 inches. Though he should be getting pretty close to his birth length, he still has to chub out a bit. In fact, over the next 11 weeks, he'll more than double — or even come close to tripling — his weight! And as he grows and room in the womb gets tighter, I'll be less likely to feel those big kicks and more likely to get poked by an elbow or jabbed by a knee, which I can already feel happening a lot more frequently. Just this week I've begun to see movement across my belly that isn't kicking or jerky... much more fluid and quite alienesque! But, of course, every time I tell Jason to look, he's done moving for that moment... figures! :) The picture below is a drawing of about what the little bugger looks like in my womb now, but I'm pretty sure he's breach right now, judging from the way he responds when Jason is singing to my belly... It really feels like he's trying his best to push his head as close to the sound as possible and it also feels like he reaches for it with his hands and pushes against my kidneys and liver with his feet to get his head closer to the noise......... It's very strange.
