38 weeks.

Your baby has really plumped up. He or she weighs about 6.8 pounds and is over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). Your baby has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his or her hand for the first time! His or her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If your baby is born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If he or she is born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time your baby is 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after birth, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

Baby girl is moving around so much lately. Definitely seeing some pointy parts of her body slide across my stomach. I haven't seen any specific, identifiable parts or anything, so not that creepy yet.

Not much to update on. Going to the doctors every week. Our next appointment is on MLK day.

My last day of work is tomorrow. Can't believe how fast this has all gone. This week has flown by because I was training my replacement while I am on maternity leave. Now I get to watch trash t.v. professionally, eat Bon bons, ect. Ect.
