38 weeks

I really am feeling like the countdown is on now. Only 2 more weeks to go! Although I have a feeling Tyler will be making his appearance on or after his due date. So far there are no signs of him coming early. Next week the doctor will do an ultrasound to estimate his size although these estimations are not always so accurate so I am going to take it with a grain of salt if she tells me I have a 10 lb baby in there!

Your pregnancy: 38 weeks

How your baby's growing: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.)
