37 Weeks!

My first week off work has been going by fast. I've been able to rest but I've kept busy as well doing last minute things for our baby boy. My mom is down visiting from Thursday until Monday. We don't have any plans except to get some quality one-on-one time together.

How our baby is growing:

Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (about the size of a bunch 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.

 

I think we've finally settled on a name, but of course nothing is definite until he pops out. For his middle name we've decided to go with William and I do believe that won't be changing.
