36 WEEKS!

At 36 weeks, here is what is going on with our baby boy...Our baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. At the end of this week, our baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely he is in a head-down position. He will be arriving any day now!
