Your baby is the size of a cantaloupe, and his main job now is simply to continue plumping up. She is approx 18 inches long and almost 6 lbs by now. WOW! I can't believe it is almost here. We will get to meet Mary Margaret really soon.
Your baby's preparing for her arrival in just a few short weeks! This week, the protective vernix caseosa (that cheese-like, white, waxy coating that's keeping her skin safe) begins to thicken, ensuring that her birthday suit stays smooth and well-moisturized during D-day. Your baby will likely arrive covered in the stuff, especially in the folds under her arms, behind her ears, and in the groin area. But it'll all be washed off very shortly after birth -- during her first-ever bath.
I am in extreme nesting mode now. I have been cleaning and getting everything ready. I got her peg perego car seat in, am going to put the swing and pack and play up this weekend, and our Sunday School class is giving us a diaper shower Sun. morning. So excited!! We are ready to meet this new baby girl.
