38 Weeks

Hey big fella,

Seriously...you must be getting so big now! You have continued to plump up and are estimated to weigh 6.8 pounds and over 19.5 inches long (about the size of a leek). Apparently you now have a firm grasp...I can't wait for you to grasp our fingers with your precious little hands.

You seem to just get lower in my belly. I am bigger now than I would have ever thought possible! My belly sticks out quite far, with my belly button protruding for all the world to see. I really don't mind...I don't feel self-conscious but have enjoyed the way you make me look. And my belly button just makes me giggle. :) It's just that now I am finally getting uncomfortable with my belly being so big and heavy. But, I really can't complain because overall carrying you has been really wonderful.

Everything is looking pretty good for you to go ahead and come when you're ready! You're just facing forward so we're trying to do some yoga poses to get you to face toward my back. You could be born sunnyside up, but it would be easier for everyone if you could just face toward my back, okay?

We are getting so antsy for your arrival...I am good with you coming any time now! I think we have everything ready for you baby...we can't wait to meet you. Love you!
