38 weeks!

WOW!  Almost done.  Almost ready to meet him (well, actually....I AM ready to meet him!!)  I do though hope he waits till after Tyler's birthday and after he starts school.  I really want them to have their own birthdays and I REALLY want to be able to walk Tyler to school on his 1st day of 1st grade!!
What's going on at 38 weeks?

Your baby has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). He has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his hand for the first time! His 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 he'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.)


Here is what my big belly looks like.

One more week.  SO excited!  Can not wait to meet him!
