35 weeks

5 weeks to go! (hopefully not just 2!!!) roo definitely doesn't spin and roll as much but it is still very, very active. it also gets the hiccups 2-3 times a day. what a crazy feeling! from babycenter.com: Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 pounds plus. Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. Your uterus — which was entirely tucked away inside your pelvis when you conceived — now reaches up under your rib cage. If you could peek inside your womb, you'd see that there's more baby than amniotic fluid in there now. Your ballooning uterus is crowding your other internal organs, too, which is why you probably have to urinate more often and may be dealing with heartburn and other gastrointestinal distress. If you're not grappling with these annoyances, you're one of the lucky few. no new news on our richmond house so we're enacting plan b - looking for and buying a significantly cheaper house further from boston. we're figured out our new price range. and we've made a list up 8-10 potential contenders in the towns of abington, east bridgewater, hanson, weymouth, and whitman which are pretty far out of the city but have access to commuter rail. jeremy is trying to get us appointments to see them this weekend and hopefully we'll find something and be able to pull the trigger soon - like within a week! it would be really nice to be semi-settled into a house before roo comes! or at least knowing that we'll be settled soon!

I wish things were going better with the house in Richmond. I hope you can see some houses this weekend and find one you love.
