38 Weeks (and Absolutely Miserable!)

I should really be more positive! However, I'm now having sleepless nights, don't even look forward to crawling into bed anymore b/c it just means a long night of tossing and turning and it's painful to generally sit or lay. Of course, what makes it bad is gas! Speaking of...wanna know 2 things that don't mix? Pregnancy gas and prenatal massages! Moving on....

I'm feeling pretty good in the mornings to mid-afternoon so that is when I run my errands and do things around the house. Afternoons and evenings are spent on the couch where I get bored and watch TV. That said, the past 2 afternoons Beau and I have enjoyed being with friends! Yesterday, we went to downtown McKinney (So cool!) for our friend Michael's bicycle race. Wish we could have stayed longer but of course Miss Party Pooper (me) had to get super uncomfortable and had to go home. Bah. Then today, we went to the Seemans' crawfish boil! What a set up - margarita machine, Jello shots, Robert Earl Keen tunes and tons of food - it was fun! Again, had to go earlier than we would have liked to but it was good to see our friends that we don't get to see enough.

How your baby's growing:



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.)
