week 38

Not long now.

In fact I probably only have about 7 to 8 days.

Melody is breech. Bottom down legs up.

So I will be having a c section.

They are hoping to do it on the 13th or 14th of October find out for sure this Wednesday.

I don't sleep very well at night.
I am up every hour or so to the loo or sometimes just because I can't breathe.

Week Thirty-Eight

• If she is the "average baby," she weights 6.8 pounds (3083gm)and is 19.6 inches (49.8cm) long. (not my baby she is so much bigger then that)
  
• Have you noticed she hiccups a lot? Because there is no air around her, those breathing exercises cause amniotic fluid to get into her windpipe. The result? Hiccups!
• Your child's intestines are accumulating lots of meconium. Meconium takes on the role of being your baby's first bowel movement -- removing the waste that has accumulated.
• She may have a full head of hair now -- an inch or more long! Don't be surprised if it's an unexpected color. Some blond couples have dark haired babies; some dark haired couples have red-haired babies; some couples have babies with only peach fuzz! It may just persuade you to take a closer look at your family tree!
• Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size for your baby. No wonder it's so hard to get a t-shirt over a newborn's head!
