Week 38!!!! OMG, my niece is almost here!!! Although, according to her mommy, she's still pretty darn comfortable inside her mommy's tummy (and apparently digging the daily supply of chocolate milk her mommy has been providing her). Baby Girl B will come out when she's darn good and ready, but she needs to know that there are LOT of people that are soooooo excited to meet her!!!! Here's what's going on with her this week (besides just chillin in the womb):
-If she is the "average baby," she weights 6.8 pounds (3083gm)and is 19.6 inches (49.8cm) long. (Baby Girl B is so NOT average!)
-Have you noticed she hiccups a lot? Because there is no air around her, those breathing exercises cause amniotic fluid to get into her windpipe. The result? Hiccups!
-Your child's intestines are accumulating lots of meconium. Meconium takes on the role of being your baby's first bowel movement -- removing the waste that has accumulated.
-She may have a full head of hair now -- an inch or more long! Don't be surprised if it's an unexpected color. Some blond couples have dark haired babies; some dark haired couples have red-haired babies; some couples have babies with only peach fuzz! It may just persuade you to take a closer look at your family tree!
-Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size for your baby. No wonder it's so hard to get a t-shirt over a newborn's head!
