38 Weeks update!

No real changes to report...baby hasn't dropped yet, no dilation. I'm feeling ready, though. Tomorrow's my last day of work, thank goodness! My next checkup is this coming Wednesday the 25th, so hopefully I'll have made some progress by then!

I had an ultrasound on Monday, and they estimated her weight at 7 1/2 pounds, give or take a pound. (Give or take A POUND?!? That's a pretty big difference.) I figure she'll be about 8 1/2 pounds at the most, but I'm still betting on 7 pounds, 13 ounces. Any other guesses?

Here is the update from BabyCenter:

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs between 6 and 7 1/2 pounds (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls), and she's nearly 20 inches long. She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old.
