Week 36

Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, which will form the contents of his first bowel movement. At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term.

I am still feeling about the same, except that I feel larger by the hour! I guess it's just me getting bigger and bigger until Peyton decides to arrive! There is about 3 weeks left now, unless we wait until the Friday to take him out....we'll just have to wait and see. I'll know about 2 weeks before the due date! It's getting closer and I just try to keep focusing on that:) We can't wait to meet our little Peyton!
