The Derrick Baby: Welcome!!!!

Saturday, June 19, 2010

Welcome!!!!

Soon we will know what you are little Derrick baby. Your beautiful mother is a 24 hour baby factory and you've been giving her a lot of problems. The first few months you made mommy VERY sick and VERY moody lol. It got better thank goodness and you've started settling down a little bit. You like to move in the morning and if mommy moves to much you curl up in a little ball on the side. We can't wait to find out what you are in 4 days!!! We'll post a picture of you as soon as we get another one. We will try to update this once, or twice a week until we meet you.

Love you,

Your Father

How The Baby Is Growing This Week - 36 weeks

Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement. At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position. But if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an "external cephalic version," which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.
