Full Term. 37 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? 

37 Weeks 
FULL TERM!!!!!

Our little man is weighing in at a little over 6 1/3 Pounds 

and about 19inches long.

The size of A bunch of Swiss Chard.

If you haven't yet delivered, you've reached the calm before the storm. You're probably monitoring your body for those first Early Labor symptoms and wondering what you've forgotten. Your smooshed-up baby is weighing in at around 6.3 lbs and 19 inches (with boys somewhat heavier and longer than girls). As far as their internal organs go, your adorable poop and blood factory has reached "term" - a medical term that means your sweet little bun is birth-ready and labor is welcome and normal at this point. Despite being physically ready to land on planet Earth, your baby's immune system is quite weak and will continue to be that way for their first years of life.
 Thankfully, your breast milk (aka "boob medicine") protects your child via protective antibodies that are present in your breast milk.our due date is very close now, but doctors don't consider your baby "full term" until 39 weeks. Spending the next two weeks in the womb allows your baby's brain and lungs to fully mature. So if you're planning to have a repeat c-section, for example, your practitioner will schedule it for no earlier than 39 weeks unless there's a medical reason to intervene earlier.
 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. See what your baby looks like this week.

37 Week Doctor appointment!

So i went in for my weekly appointment and was also hoping i would be a little farther long. 

My cervix is so high that it was really hard to tell how far along i was. Well once she got up in there she stripped my membranes in hopes that it would help with labor. After she checked me i was to a 3.5 and 65% thinned out just the same as last week. We are really hoping that little man will show his cute little face this Monday (Logan's Dad birthday) But who knows if that will happen. This mom is feeling pretty good but just really ready for my little boy to be here. I think the last few weeks of pregnancy are the worst cause you are so tired and i can never sleep at night. I'm going on three nights of no sleep. :( 

So hopefully the next update will be pictures of my little man!
