(According to www.3dpregnancy.com) The baby weighs around 7 pounds (3200 grams) now and he is about 19 inches (48 cm) long. Once he's born, he will be able to keep himself warm with your help, because the layer under his skin is now thick enough. Babies can gain up to half a pound per week during these last three weeks or so of pregnancy. Much of this weight is fat.
I am starting to get very anxious. As I sit and write this I can feel him wiggling around in me belly. I love him so much already, it still doesn't feel real. I can't imagine that anytime this month I will go into labour and come home with our little boy.
Week 37 Doctors Appointment
So the weekly appointments are pretty repetitive. The only thing that seems to change is my weight... Remember that scale at the OBGYN office, you know, the one that makes me a lot heavier than I am? Well, you may recall the last reading from that scale was 190lbs and I was horrified but blamed the scale??? Well Hell has frozen over! My family doctors scale read 189lbs (this was the "nice scale") Anyways, I find it hilarious that I have gained 54 lbs. It makes me laugh considering I have never had a weight problem. But I do look forward to the challenge of losing the weight afterwards (I say this now, assuming it melts off like I dream!)
2 Weeks to go!
2 weeks to go, I can't wait. This Thursday is my last day, I joke around saying that as soon as I get home I am going to start trying different gimmicks to induce labour! LOL I just can't wait.
Of course Jon will be in the delivery room with me, as for my second person, I have two plans. Tammy Tremblay will be here for the week of May 18th (my due date), so if it happens then she'll be with us. If it happens before, Kelly Spinelli is on call... I am so blessed to have such good friends and support for Jonathan while I am a hormonal wreck.
