Welcome to Week #39!

Could be any day now...

This is the week in which Baby begins to outgrow the watery home where she's been developing these past nine months. Baby should weigh almost seven pounds this week, but at a length of about 21 inches, Baby hasn't grown much taller. The average full-term newborn weighs between six and nine pounds and is 18 to 21 inches long. Although Baby's growth is slowing, fat will continue to accumulate to help insulate Baby even more for her entry to the outside world. Meconium (Baby's feces) will continue to build up in her intestines. By now, the circumference of baby's head and abdomen are about the same.

I should be getting another size estimate next week. Been feeling a lot of odd kicking, movements, and stomach pains since last night. I can feel it coming on!
