Not much to report this week. Everything went fine at the midwife appointment. I got my GBS results- negative, so that means I don't have to have any antibiotics in labor and no IV. I'm pretty happy about that. I'm still having contractions, but nothing regular or painful. I have a feeling she will be taking her time... I guess we'll see. This waiting game isn't very much fun! At least I'm not miserably uncomfortable (knock on wood!).
This week's update:
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.)
