The Baby @ 38 Weeks
Length: 19.61 inches
Weight: 6.8 Pounds
Baby Schneider continues to "plump up", has a firm grasp and mature organs ready for life on the outside. One thing that is not for certain is Baby Schneiders eye color - brown eyes are likely to stay brown, but if Baby Schneider is born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown over the first 9 months. According to babycenter, "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.)"
Me @ 38 Weeks
I think Parents.com is trying to tick me off. This is what they say about this week: "By now you're probably putting the finishing touches on your little one's nursery and making sure his layette is ready for his arrival". Thats funny - since we dont have any furniture for the nursery, thus havent started on it. And since we dont know Baby Schneiders gender, we havent really gotten any clothes either. Thanks for rubbing it in Parents.com! But...we do have hope!
Babycenter suggests that now is the time to switch reading gears from pregnancy to baby because time is sparse after the baby's born, I should learn all I can about the first few weeks now. Sounds like a good project for Jeff, doesnt it? :)
