Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew). 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.
As for mom: 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.
Funny moment sidebar: I chastise Patrick all the time for not taking pictures of me, so he said, "I was just thinking about taking some because you're so huge now."
Heh. Heh. I'm sure he meant that in a nice way.

Oh, i'm sure he meant it in the nicest possible way. Isn't that what all pregnant women want to hear, how huge they are? Isn't that the highest compliment you can give?
He's very lucky that he gets me water whenever I want (even though he nearly broke his ankle in a basketball game recently) and that he still reads silly stories to my womb.
Having seen your belly in person recently, I'd like to note for your readers that while your belly might be "huge" (in a good way) the rest of you looks exactly the same, which is what all pregnant women want to hear.
Face, arms, legs, hips, butt, ankles - all the same. :)
Awww. Thanks, Gina!
