What Do You Be Doing?

I'm gonna go a lil left field with this one Kristiana. Baby.....Where do you be dissapearing to in mommy's belly? Sometimes you kick for daddy and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you in there having a house party and sometimes you sleep all day. We went to the doctor today to find your heartbeat and you was running laps INSIDE mommy's stomach. We have one more 4 week visit baby girl then its a every two week affair for you from now on. Mommy can't take all the running tho, so you might wanna sit down , pull up a chair and read a good Dr. Suess book ok? Lol, daddy just playing and he loves and can't wait to see you.

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.
