Yay! I'm officially full term now! 37 weeks is full term which means that baby's lungs are developed and if she was born now she would be fine. We actually got to see her "practicing her breathing" on the Ultrasound today.
We got a great report today after the Ultrasound. We didn't get to see her face this time because she's "ready to come out and meet us" and she's in position. We did see a hand and an ear and her heart beating (143 BPM). The Ultrasound tech told us that she had a full bladder too.
They predicted that the baby currently weighs 6 pounds 4 ounces and will probably gain 1.5 pounds over the next 3 weeks. That puts her somewhere in the 7+ pound mark. Sophia was 8 pounds 13 ounces - and 5 days late.
Either way - Will told me tonight that he needs two more weeks to get ready at work. I'm torn. I want to meet this little girl, but since she doesn't have a name yet, I'm OK waiting a few more weeks too.
