36 weeks

How your baby's growing:

Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.
At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position. But if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an "external cephalic version," which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.

Hello! I am feeling good....I had a ton of energy this weekend and cleaned the entire house. Today I dont have a ton of energy...but it is what it is!
Tomorrow I am going to lunch with my friend Lauren and her daughter Rilynn, and my other friend Kristi and her son Luke! I am so excited to see them all!
I go to the doctor Thursday and I am SOOO hoping that I will be a little bit dialated! I am just ready to start making some progress. I want to meet my little man and I just want to know that my body is getting ready! I will also get an induction date at my appointment. If he isnt here by 39 weeks they will induce, which I was TOTALLY against being induced at first but I am staying open minded and staying cool about everything! As long as baby is healthy!! =)

I am LOVING these temps outside by the way.....I MEAN LOVVVINNGG! LOL...even though it is raining...which we needed...it just feels amazing! I hope the temps stay cool! =)

I hope all of you are doing good!!
