How your baby's growing:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
So I am 38 weeks. Went to the doctor today and still only 1cm dialated and 30% effaced. So I am not making much progress. I was really hoping that he would come on his own before the 2nd but I dont think thats going to happen.....but either way I have no more than 12 days til I meet my son and I can NOT wait! I guess I will just keep up the walking and all that crap to see if I can MAYBE make him come on his own....we will see! I am feeling good.....I am tired because I have a hard time getting comfortable and I am so stinking big that I cant just roll over in my sleep....I have to wake up and roll onto my back then other side then wait til I am comfortbale again and most likely get up to pee before I fall back asleep...what a process....But its ok! I just feel like I know so many people who were just MISERABLE at this point in the pregnancy, but I really am not....I feel great, of course uncomfortable at times and stuff...nothing major. Just really ready to meet him! =)
Here we are:
Next week will be my last baby bump posting! Woo hoo!! Then it will be allllllll about my little cutie pie!

You look so GREAT!!!! I cant wait to meet Eric he is going to be so adorable! Gets lots and lots of sleep while you can. I know you probably get that a million times a day but girl let me tell you Ri just loves to be awake in the middle of the night and that makes for one very tired mama during the day :)
