38 weeks...

Progress, shmogress. This is why doctors should not tell us that we are dilated and effaced, because the "it could be three days or three weeks" qualifier messes with our heads! lol! I'm not impatient, really, I think I'm just ready, and excited to get this show on the road!! :) (I'm sure I will be thinking differently when contractions actually start!!)

We have a doctor appointment tomorrow and we'll have a sonogram, so I'm really looking forward to that! I'm not looking forward to an internal, should she decide to do THAT again.

Here's the update for 38 weeks...

"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.) Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development."

- - I love the last two lines...I HOPE our baby is in the "general" range - lol!

Once again, I don't have a pic - but I will try to post one this week for sure.
