Full Term, At Last!

Today marks the day that Lil' Babe is considered 'full term'! Her lungs are developed and if she were born now, she would be pretty healthy. Hooray!

This morning was our follow-up 37 week ultrasound. Good news: She is still growing at a comfortable rate and is approximately 5 lbs. 14 oz. She may not gain a full half pound each week, but that will still amount to a good sized babe when we go in on the 26th (countdown: 15 days!). The ultrasound shows a full head of hair and some fat building up around her abdomen, which is a very encouraging sign of a healthy baby! All in all, very good news about the little one. I breathed a sigh of relief - don't get me wrong. We are anxious to meet her, but just not this soon. :)
