37 weeks!

Today I am 37 weeks! I can't believe it. Katelyn is now able to come safely at any time. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and was told that she'll more than likely be around 7 lbs. at birth. Brad and I were both around 7 lbs. so that was fine with me. Everything else looked good and I was measuring well. I'm feeling good also, except for the heartburn!

We also had our last Childbirth Prep class last night and learned somemore interesting things as well as got to take our tour. The rooms were nice and will be comfortable. We were unable to see the post partum rooms though as they were all full at the time. I can't believe how fast time seems to be going! She'll be here before we know it.

On a side note, Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

How your baby's growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk 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.
