Week 38

Tank is as long as a leek which is around 19 inches and weighs almost 7 lbs!! HAHA!! Books are for average people! At 38 weeks Tank has a firm grasp and can hold on to anything. All his organs are mature and he is ready to come at any time. Kris and I have been going over what we think babe will look like. We already know it has the Honas nose, but what about eye color?  If babies are born with brown eyes they are more likely to stay brown, if they are born with grey or dark blue they can either stay blue or turn green. They have up to 9 months to do this.

Some people start leaking colostrum around 38 weeks, I have not. In fact, my boobs really have not grown at all this pregnancy!

Things are about the same for me. I had an OB appointment today. Baby is still “high” and has not dropped into my pelvis though my OB was quick to tell me that babies often do not drop with first time mothers. I really have no other signs of impending labor. Baby is high, no contractions, not nesting, and no loss of that wonderful mucus plug. I am fatter. Gained 3lbs this week according to the scale. Not sure if I believe it, total weight gain is 28lbs.

I have been boring too. I had to work this Sunday while Kris was out playing with the relatives so I don’t even have any good pictures. We plan on fishing this weekend depending on how I feel. I have 5 full days of work left, mom comes in 9 days, Tanks due in 13. Shall we start placing bets now?

We found out we were pregnant while vacationing in Palm Spring California. Glad Kris was smiles

I however, was certainly more surprised because I had taken a test just 8 days prior to this one and it was a big NEGATIVE
