Week 38

I cant believe we are starting week 38 today!! It has gone so fast. I have really been enjoying the pregnancy and experiencing the miracle of this child growing inside me. Yesterday I went to a Kids Consignment Sale with Pete's mom at the 4-H Fairgrounds. They had a lot of nice stuff. We bought a saftey gate for only $8.00 and the grandma-to-be bought Baby T. this....

It's so cute I know... our child will be a little pumpkin this year! It will make for some fun scrapbook photos that's for sure! Well here is the Week 38 update according to BabyCenter.com. Enjoy!!!

How your baby's growing:

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.)
