How your baby's growing: Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, her lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
How I am feeling: Stressed and annoyed. We're still snowed in! My doctor appointment is at 8:15 monday morning. It is supposed to be 42 degrees today and rainy. I'm hoping that will make it possible for me to move my car up the hill. But being this pregnant and snowed in is not enjoyable.
Aside from that... in the negative column I feel large, moving around gets more difficult every day, I ache after trying to sleep, and I can feel my cervix changing and probably starting to dilate a little which can hurt some from time to time. In the plus column I can still feel her moving a lot and despite all the negatives still have a decent amount of energy.
Only 3 more weeks till my due date!
