40 weeks!!!

How your baby's growing:
It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs in at a little over 7 pounds and is about 20 inches long. 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.


So here we are...40 weeks! Didn't think I'd make it this far! I've been to the Doctor twice now this week. Tuesday I was still 1 1/2 centimeters but about 40% and he could feel her head. Today I was the same but her head was lower...which would explain the intense pressure I'm feeling. He said she was anterior(face down), which I am thankful for! He's hoping to see me this weekend, but if not I have an appointment on tues and he said we would schedule an induction at that appointment.
