The final countdown!! I am feeling surprisingly good aside from not being able to get up out of chairs gracefully. I am tired in the afternoons and nights but I figure this is a preview to life in 2 weeks and also the direct result of hauling 50 extra pounds around all day. My fault for not laying off the desserts!
I am aiming to have Emmett this Saturday on his Aunt Dana's 30th birthday. If that doesn't happen then he will need to stay in until his June 16th due date which is of course, Father's Day!
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she is over 19 1/2 inches long (about the size of 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.)
I must say that we are very curious to see what color Emmett's eyes are! Evan's eyes are hazel and some days they look gray blue like Brian's and some days they look green brown like Uncle Evan's. We all know Hollan hit the jackpot in the blue eye department. So, what will Mr. Emmett have?!
