37 Weeks

Emma:

     "Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. (Some babies need a bit more time, though. So if you're planning to have a repeat c-section, for example, your practitioner will schedule it for no earlier than 39 weeks unless there's a medical reason to intervene earlier.)

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz."

Me:
    This week was rough.  Saturday Jake and I rode the new Frontrunner train to Salt Lake City. It was free the first day if you brought canned food. We waited for over an hour an a half outside with no wind cover and if was COLD!  I was already not feeling great that day but I think this is what started the sickness for the next week. I ended up with what I thought was strep throat.  The culture came back negative though so I guess it was just a bug.  I could barely swallow and the week was actually pretty miserable. I finally went to my 37 week OB appointment and got some antibiotics. It helped and I started feeling better.  So much for working this week.
