Your baby's waiting to greet the world!
She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature
after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs
a bit over 7 pounds. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The
outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
Um, yeah...based on personal experience...the first statement is a LOAD OF CRAP!!!!! Last night, I started having contractions...and I don't mean just little pains here and there, but intense contractions that caused me to stop while they were going on. So from 7pm until midnight, I would make little mental notes and talk with MB about them. I was SOOOO hoping they were for real. Unfortunately, we laid down around midnight, after sending Mr. B off with his grandparents, hitting Wally World for some last minute hospital items, ice cream and a good trash magazine, packing our bags completely and running around crazy trying to get everything done so we'd be "ready"-- and they stopped. KAPUT. Just like that. Nothing.
So here I am this Sunday morning, just 7 days prior to my due date (which is just an uneducated guess anyway) with no Mr. B at home, MB is gone to work, wondering....DON'T YOU WANT OUT BG?! Had your chance sister....let's get the next one right!!!!
Doc appointment in the morning, could give us some more good news -- and then again maybe not. Maybe those contractions helped speed things along a bit. Will update with a progress report tomorrow. My Doc will be out of town the 11th and 12th....so that is probably when she will make her debut. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Y'all have a lovely day! Keep your fingers crossed for a baby sighting!
