HOW BIG IS BABY? 17.72 INCHES, WEIGHING ABOUT 4.73 LBS - ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CANTALOUPE!
DEVELOPMENT: BABY BOY ALMOST WEIGHS 5 POUNDS NOW!!! AND BY THIS TIME MOST OF THE LANUGO (BODY HAIR) IS GONE. HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM IS NO LONGER RELYING ON THE ANTIBODIES FROM THE PLACENTA. THIS SELF-IMMUNITY IS IMPORTANT TO PROTECT BABY BOY DURING BIRTH ANF FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. THE VERNIX (THICK WHITE LAYER OF PROTECTION PRESENT ON BABY'S SKIN) IS DISAPPEARING; HOWEVER, A LITTLE BIT OF IT WILL STILL BE LEFT AT BIRTH. HIS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM IS NOW FULLY WORKING BY ITSELF. AND NOW BABY BOY IS PEEING UP TO A PINT OF URINE A DAY INTO THE AMNIOTIC FLUID.
FEELING: EXTREMELY IMPATIENT. WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER TO MEET BABY BOY.

BEST MOMENT OF THE WEEK: BESIDES WASHING HIS CLOTHES...MY FIRST BABY SHOWER WAS GREAT. I HAD BUTTERFLIES WHILE OPENING GIFTS FOR BABY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: NEXT MONTH.
