Week 38


Yet another week has gone by. Last week the doctor told me that I was 1 cm dilated and everything is going well, she has definitely dropped some more. I am done with work so now and I am just waiting for her to come!
When will you be here? :) We want to meet you!
Here is how big my belly has gotten at 38 weeks. It's amazing that there is still space in there for her to move which she does quite often.

Week 38 Development:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
