Peanut's the size of a winter melon!
Yay! Baby has reached full term. She likely measures around 18.9 to 20.9 inches and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds, and she's gaining about a 1/2 ounce each day. During week 37, baby's practicing some skills: inhaling, exhaling, sucking, gripping and blinking. She's also getting her first sticky poop (called meconium) ready for her first diaper.
Only about 3 weeks to go but I'm hoping Peanut decides to come a few days early. Sleep has been fleeting lately; keep waking up sore and it's very hard to roll over without smacking Michael in the head. Had my OB appointment on Monday. Everything looks good, heartbeat was 135-145 and I'm measuring right on. Peanut's head is lower in my pelvis already but not much else is going on (not really effaced at all and only 1 cm).
