38 weeks

38 weeks today, wow. It only seems like yesterday when I told Brad that he was getting an early birthday present, (I tested positive 2 days before his birthday). Its crazy how fast time flies. I’m going into the doctor’s today for my weekly appointment and will have to update later on how that went. Hopefully they’ll be some more progress! I’m really hoping she comes the first week of January. Brad’s hoping for the 5th, I don’t care as long as I’m not late!!! I haven’t felt that burst of energy yet but I’m waiting. Patiently.

How your baby's growing:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long. She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
