37 Weeks

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 . 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.

Well, We made it to full term!! Yay! Baby is doing well. I had a appointment with my OB dr and he said baby is around 6-1/2# right now, head is way down. The neck is about at my pubic bone when he pressed around on my stomach to find it. He said thats very unusual in first time moms for baby to drop on its own that much already so thats a good thing! He said it will make for a easier pushing stage so Im all for that! Lots of BH contractions the last few days so now we are just sitting here waiting for baby to make its apperance!
I have a meeting with my Doula on sunday so after that baby can come and I wont complain!
Tomorrow we are going to Eville to use the gift cards we got at the baby showers and get the items we didnt receive at the showers. Im pretty excited. I just love shopping for baby!! I really have been blessed though and dont have a lot of stuff I need to buy yet. Just some odds and ends like hangers for baby clothes, pacifiers, nursing supplies and stuff like that.
