Week 39

Well we were hoping to induce on Monday but that won't happen as I have not dilated yet. We will keep an eye on it to see when we can chose to give birth (unless she decides to come sometime soon). Tom's dad, Tom will arrive on Tuesday, we can't wait to see him.

How your baby's growing:
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

  1. I know that you and Tom (and your family) are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this precious bundle of love!! As an honorary auntie, I can't wait to meet her myself. I hope that you are resting and nesting and taking care of yourself. We pray for you guys every day.
