36 weeks and counting

Here's what it says about baby this week at the online site I read.

Your baby is still packing on the pounds at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long.

Now that your baby is taking so much room you may have trouble eating a normal size meal. (True) Smaller more frequent meals may help. (They have except I have been eating more chocolate as a result)

You also may be feeling practice contractions and pressure in preparation for labor. (Also True)

Everything seems to be on track although I am hoping that our baby boy will be a mommy pleaser and show up perfectly healthy and earlier than the estimated due date.
