We're at 38 weeks now and babycenter.com has the following to report:
"Your baby has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). He has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? If he's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If he's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time he's 9 months old."
The coolest development this week in my opinion is that Baby Andrew now responds to touch. His little heel or knee will be poking way out and I can give it just a little nudge and he'll move it and it will pop out somewhere new. Jacob joked that it was like playing Whack the Mole! Maybe this would have been happening for a while if he'd been feet-up before, but it's new for us and very exciting to be able to interact with Baby!
