38 weeks

well its almost here! could be today, or if im late could be another month! its too crazy for me to think about that im so close! garret and i have a list of things to do before baby comes. there are only a few things on there, but we need to book it if we are gonna get them done! and my mom will be here thursday, so i cant wait for her arrival! i remember when i found out i was pregnant, i was trying to think of what it would be like right before the baby came! spring was mostly on my mind! and its right around the corner! our sprinklers are on, and our grass is slowly but surely starting to turn green! i have never been more excited for spring! things are normal! baby gets the hiccups a lot! thats fun! and cause there is not so much room anymore for he or she to move around, the kicks are stronger and my belly moves around all they time! i will miss that, but im so much more eager to have the lil one in my arms instead! my braxton hicks are getting stronger and lasting longer! so thats exciting! but they are still just braxton hicks! im looking forward to the real contractions! as funny as that sounds! but its true! and im really excited for all the early labor projects i have planned! we will see how many of them i get to do! things i have in mind; making a collage, washing the baby's laundry, cleaning and organizing things around the house, playing cards and board games, maybe doing a belly cast or doing yard/garden work.....so much that sounds fun to keep my mind off the contractions! the following pics i posted are obviously of before being pregnant, and then 40 weeks! i think its so awesome and such a miracle how God created our bodies! too cool... well hope everyone is doing good! till next week!




How your baby is growing: 38 weeks
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
