How Far Along: 40 weeks!!!
Size of baby: It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds (a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long.
My baby this week: His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your baby's noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Rest assured — it's normal and temporary.
Sleep: Some nights I will sleep okay, despite having to get up several times...but most nights my sleep is crap!
Best Moment of the Week: Despite all the ups and downs, I have made it to my due date!
Movement: Poor little guy must be so cramped...but not cramped enough, as he is still in there!
Gender: BOY!!!!!!
Food cravings: Still wanting sushi!
What I Miss: A good night's sleep...yes I know I won't be getting that for a LONG time.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Meeting my son!!!
Milestones: Reaching my due date!
Emotions: Super impatient, yet scared, anxious, and excited about the birth.
Symptoms: Same old, same old.
