39 Weeks and a (Last?) Belly Pic

It's hard to believe we've reached the end...and yet still have so far to go!

Here's the update from babycenter:
"Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath."

Finally the fruit matches the feeling! Yes, indeed, I have a watermelon in my tummy. And I wouldn't describe it as all that mini!

Would you???


We call this photo "Cookie Monster Has a Baby!"

Mama has arrived to DC to camp out for the delivery. It's so wonderful having her here! I can't wait until Daddy, my brothers and their families, and my inlaws arrive over the next week or two. It's going to be the most fun!

Mama and I are headed to the doctor in a bit and hope to receive a report including signs of progress!
