39 Weeks

We're at 39 weeks and, other than stronger Braxton Hicks contractions, there's been no real sign that this baby is ready to leave the womb. But you never know, maybe it will all happen fast!

Baby Center's 39 week update:

Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.


And here's a picture of your favorite expectant mama from today:

Are you able to sleep? Don't you wonder how your skin can stretch like that? And it won't be long before you'll almost be normal!!! My GPS is out and programmed ready to lead us to the hospital! :-)
