    37 Weeks....

    Hard to believe that 3 weeks from this past Monday is my actual due date!! Scary!
    Here is the 37 Week update I received...
    Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.

    Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

    At my last appointment we found out that our doctor is going out of town on December 6th. She is the only doctor in her practice which means I will be having this baby sometime before that!! There are two ways to look at this, 1) thank goodness there is an end in sight, I am tired of being pregnant and I can't wait to finally see what she looks like or 2) Holy Crap!
