Baby Changes

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! 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 she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

Best Moment this Week

Gender
GIRL! Sawyer Grace Coats :)

Movement
She is still moving all around - even though it's tight in there! :)

Food Craving
I guess milk and ice cream…less cravings now though.

Sleep
sleeping pretty well, but I will randomly wake up in the night and I still have to get up most nights to use the bathroom! I am also HOT at night. I sleep with just the sheet on me and scoot as far from Casey as I can :)

What I am looking forward to
Having her!!! I would love to go into labor this weekend (preferably Saturday evening as soon as Casey gets home from his golf tournament:)

Symptoms
HUGE swollen feet. Sore joints in my fingers and toes - almost arthritic feeling. Acid reflux.

Weight
I didn't gain one pound this week! So, I'm still at 33lbs for the entire pregnancy. Not too shabby!
