The countdown to your sweet lil' womb hi-jacker's eviction is closing in!
In fetal developments: most of the bones (soft skull aside) in their little body are now completely hardened, providing a solid structure from which they can now make their grand debut into the world.
In physical fitness news: your mini-champ's muscle tone is improving, and you’ll be impressed by their steel-like Ulnar grasp (a newborn reflex that occurs if you lay your finger in their palm).
Your baby's nearly done baking!
And how's mom doing?

Hey mama, are you big, warm, pee-tastic, tired, and feeling just a bit anxious?
Welcome to week 36!
Mom is feeling your kicks, they seem to get stronger and stronger these days.  She was up at 4am this morning due to your kicks, and movement - no more sleeping right through the night for mom  ;) Hormones are getting stronger and mom has felt a shift this last week.  She senses the changes as her body is getting prepared to meet you soon!  Mom also had another dream last night that you were a boy!!!  In the dream she was holding you in her arms and you were just about to open your eyes when she woke up.  Mom and Dad were also in the middle of picking out your name as you opened your eyes......Mom was hoping to have an answer to that ? from the dream but no such luck.
How is dad doing?
Dad has been a trouper!!  He has given mom foot and back massages almost every night the last week plus picking up on what mom can't do around the house anymore!  He is ready to meet you and getting more and more excited each day.  Yesterday he told mom that they should practice changing diapers, really!!!    Tick Tock are you here yet?!?!
