38 weeks

How far along: 38 weeks

Baby's size: baby weighs about 6.8 pounds and measures over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek)

What baby is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
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? 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

Symptoms: difficulty sleeping; some cramping; and a few contractions

Total Weight Gain: not sure

Best moment since last update: we spent the weekend making a few more purchases, the outfits are ready for baby; mom came and helped us clean up the house :)

Movement: yep! especially in the evening - this baby really likes derek!!

Food cravings: fruit, milk

What I miss: sleeping comfortably at night and through the night

What I'm looking forward to: meeting our little one and finding out if it's a boy or girl :)

Update on students' votes: 21say boy and 17say girl
