THIRTY-SEVEN WEEKS

We've reached the baby's full term of development! Our goal was to get to this point, so his lungs would be fully developed and very capable of adaptation to breathing. We're preparing for him to come at any time, but, if he wants to cook a bit longer, that's okay by us...it'll help him chunk up a bit more. And he'll need the extra insulation because it's gonna be a cold winter.

He weighs 6-1/3 pounds and is around 19 inches in length. I'm beginning to wonder which facial features he's inherited from which parent...and if he has a big head of hair or peach fuzz.

Holly continues to experience Braxton Hicks contractions...some more intense than others depending on if she's been on her feet for a while or not. She's not working anymore, so rest and preparation are popular (in-)activities. Doctor's appointments continue to show good health for both mom and baby! PTL!
