37 weeks 4 days (16 days to go!!)

Ok so I am counting down!!!! Couple of things first, Had a lazed Anzac Day nothing too stressful!! Although we did remember and stop for those who fought for our country. Also a HUGE congratualtions to Shontie on the birth of their beautiful baby boy a couple of weeks early, hanging to hear the birth story!! Also with just over 2 weeks to go if you are interested in getting a guess in as to what sex, size etc the baby is go here So I THINK!! all things are organised, Kai is organised for somewhere to go, originally I was thinking to get mum to met us at the hospital which is rather closer to them but on second thoughts I don't know how Kai would cope in the car with me for 40+ minutes labouring!!!! So my gorgeous girlfriends Bree and Lynne have put their hands up for a possible call through the night to come and get him!!!!!!!!!! The cot is set up and the capsule is in the car!!! I have finally opened the nappy disposal unit and a bag of nappies OMG they are tiny tiny!!! and from memory they actually swam on Kai for a couple of weeks till he packed the weight on!!!! I couldnt help myself again in Pumpkin Patch and had to get another unisex outfit!!!! I am thinking by the time we know the gender I am going to be well and truely over unisex stuff!!! It is all getting so exciting and I am mostly excited to find out if it is a boy or girl!!!! We have FINALLY chosen a name and like Kaitiaki it is a unisex name but I think I will wait to reveal it I am big on suspence huh!!! hehe Not much else going on, still got an active baby and loads of braxton hicks this is my belly as of today 37 + weeks.... FACTS Fetal size: crown-rump 35 cm (14 inches), crown-toe 47cm (21 inches). Fetal weight: 3.1 kg (6.8 pounds). Your baby's head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity -- surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for her growing legs and buttocks. Many babies now have a full head of hair, with locks maybe around one inch / 2.5 centimetres long. But don't be surprised if her hair isn't the same colour as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes taken aback when their children are born with bright red or blond hair, and fair-haired couples likewise can produce babies with dark hair. And then, of course, some babies don't have any hair at all. Speaking of hair, most of the downy coat of lanugo that covered your baby from 26 weeks has disappeared, and so has most of the vernix caseosa, the whitish substance that also covers her. Your baby will swallow her lanugo and exterior coating, along with other secretions, and store them in her bowels. These will become your infant's first bowel movement, a blackish waste called meconium.
