38 Weeks!

This week I have became very irritable and impatient. I am trying to just enjoy this time off but I keep thinking about meeting my baby. Also, I have been trying to keep the house somewhat clean, so it will be clean when I go into labor. Well, with a 20 month old that is pretty impossible. So, hopefully I can either relax or have a baby. But, I am having a April baby!! I didn't think I'd make it to April. :)

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.)
