39 Weeks; Any Day Now


Peanut's the size of a watermelon!


Baby keeps growing, despite being so crowded in there. He probably weighs around 6.2 to 9.2 pounds and measures about 18.9 to 20.9 inches.  Are we there yet? You’re probably feeling like you want to get this baby the heck out of you. We’re not sure, but the impatience and discomfort many moms feel around 39 weeks (and beyond!) might be nature’s way of getting you mentally prepared for delivery. Remember how freaked out you used to be about it? Now, at week 39 you probably don’t care what you have to do, you just don’t want to be pregnant anymore!  He's probably able to flex his limbs now.  His brain is still rapidly developing -- he's getting smarter by the week!   His nails may extend past his fingertips.

Hoping this is the last week of being pregnant.  Patrick was born at 39 weeks and 4 days, so I'm hoping  Peanut decides to do the same.  That would mean Peanut would be here by this weekend.
