Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 38 weeks!

Size of baby: 
 Your baby's the size of a pumpkin!



Baby is about 18.9 to 20.9 inches long and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds. His head is now about the same circumference as his abdomen.

Baby Development This Week: 
·         He may have about an inch or so of hair already.
·         He's slowly shedding that white goo on his skin (called vernix caseosa) but you might see some of it at birth.

Maternity Clothes: Regular shirts (shirts are getting a little small, thinking I might need a couple of maternity shirts), stretchy capris/maternity bottoms.

Gender: IT’S A BOY! John Declan Leviner! He will be called Declan. Declan is of Irish origin and means full of goodness. J

Movement: He feels like he’s creeping across my belly. Despite the lack of room, he can be very active!

Sleep: Some days are better than others!

What I miss: Just feeling normal---not feeling huge and hot all the time!
                                            
Cravings: Just lots and lots of fluids.

Symptoms: heartburn, harder to move around and lean over, backaches, fatigue, feet swelling, some nausea.

Best Moment this week: John reading to Declan. It makes me so happy. I feel blessed to know that Declan has such an amazing father. J Also have to mention that John's dad and step mom took us out for dinner and brought me my amazing glider rocker and ottoman. I'm in love! :)

  3. Such exciting time for you. I am sure the anticipation of when your baby is going to come is so overwhelming. My cousin went 2 days past her due date but gave birth with no complications. She had contractions for 2 days before they became regular enough to to go the hospital but there she was only in labor for 10.5 hours.
    So happy about the glider/ottoman. I had one and nursed my two kids on it. It was the best thing ever!
