Welcome to week 37 (by the way, today I enter week 38…I’m a little behind?) oops!

This week, baby O is the size of a stalk of swiss chard, in other words, 19 inches long. He should weigh around 6 1/3 pounds. He is considered full term and could be born anytime, although studies have shown that it is best for the baby to cook for 39 weeks for optimum brain development. Officially I’m hoping to get to 39 weeks, but I will be happy with whatever timing he wants. I think babies known when they are ready much more than doctors do!

We have been wondering if he will have hair and if so, what color. I’m guessing he doesn’t have much, if any, hair. 🙂 But it could be 1/2 inch to 1.5 inches long!

The weekly update says I should probably be very uncomfortable and might not sleep well and, well yeah! DUH! I am humungous and carrying an extra large weight around on my front is pretty tiring. My hip/tailbone area is still killing me, but it tends to loosen up eventually during the day. Josh helps me out of chairs and up off of the floor most of the time now, and I feel like a beached whale in bed. Putting on shoes takes all the energy and breath I have!

Wish us luck, and another 2 weeks! (Well, one now) hehe.
