38 Weeks according to the Fruit and Veggie Meter.



I had my 38 week check up yesterday and according to the doc my blood pressure is "beautiful" and baby has made a lot of progress in the last week, the effacement process has begun. She's right there hangin' out. Okay baby...it's time to come out and play because this momma is growing tired of waiting. Bring it on!

According to our friends at Baby Center: "Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). 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? You may not be able to tell right away. 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. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)"
