38 Weeks

So it feels ike we're in a holding pattern here. A few cramps and cntractions here and there, but nothing signifcant. This kid likes to brace herself against my side and back, so i get one sore spot on my back that just doesn't seem to go away. Derek is playing softball today. The team he plays with made it to the State championships. So since it's going to be about 90 and and lord knows how humid...i am staying home. Think i will start knitting another blanket. So off i go to michaels around 10!!

Your pregnancy: 38 weeks
See the big picture
How your baby's growing:

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 usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
