37 Weeks

Today I am 37 weeks pregnant and considered full term. Only 21 days to go! The baby is about 20 inches long and weighs between 6 and 1/2 pounds and 7 pounds. Weight and length varies by baby though and I am guessing that she is barely 6 pounds right now. Her head, which is still growing is about 1/4 of her body. Its circumference is the same as her shoulders, abdomen, and hips. No wonder babies have such a hard time lifting their head once they are born.
