37 weeks!! Only about 17 days to go...

We're ready when our little bundle of joy is ready. Appointment yesterday went well! I actually lost weight... go figure. Blood pressure looks great and so does the baby heartbeat. Baby dropped slightly from last week... fundal height went from 38 cm to 37 cm! Thankfully, baby is still head down. After our appointment we had lunch, sent out thank you notes and finally we had maternity photos taken. Super excited to see them! Other than that, taking it easy and resting up for when our wee one decides to make it's grand entrance. :) Our Baby: Babies come to term anywhere between 38 and 42 weeks--your 40-week due date simply marks the midpoint of this period. By the end of this week, your little one will be officially "on time" whenever she makes her entry into the world. In preparation for birth, most babies have moved into the head-down, back-facing position that's ideal for labor. However, she may be also be "sunny-side up," (head down, facing front--can often be delivered vaginally), breech (with feet or buttocks closest to the birth canal), or even lying crosswise in the uterus. If this is the case, and your doctor is unable to shift her position, you may be a candidate for a cesarean section. (Our wee one has been head down for a good month now... it's just a matter of what direction the back is facing...) Baby's Length: 20.75-21 in. Baby's Weight: 6.5 lbs. Baby's Size: Diaper bag How our baby's growing: Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
