Looks like I am pretty much done gaining weight ... I have been wavering around the same weight for the past month. Guess that means I am just going to spent the next few weeks sitting around and waiting :) I did go get a massage last week, and yesterday I got a haircut. Next week I plan to get a manicure and pedicure. I am assuming that each of these appointments will be my last for a while, so I am trying to push them as close to the due date as possible. Again, if Baby Schneider doesnt cooperate, its possible another massage and mani/pedi might be in order!
Me @ 37 Weeks
At this point my pregnancy is considered "full term". Basically, that means if I go into labor nothing will be done to stop it. Prior to 37 weeks, doctors often medically intervene if labor begins - to try to give the baby a bit more time to develop.
The Baby @ 37 Weeks
Height: 19.13 inches
Weight: 6.3 Pounds
At this point Baby Schneider can grasp an object with his or her fingers, called the palmar grasp reflex. Time is spent just hanging out: practicing breathing (though breathing amniotic fluid), sucking his/her thumb, blinking and pivoting from side to side :)
