Jerry entry:
Week 40. 1 day until the due date. Will
Skye be on time? Probably not. We went to the doctor yesterday
morning and we were told it should be a few more
days...maybe a week. But you never know!
Your baby weighs about 7.5 pounds (3400g). Its crown-to-rump
length is about 14.8 to 15.2 inches (37 to 38cm). Total
length is 21.5 inches (48cm).
It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be,
but the average newborn weighs in at a little over 7 pounds
and is about 20 inches long. Your baby will continue to
grow with every passing day (her nails and hair will continue
to get longer, too). Your baby's skull bones are still
separated and they'll stay that way to allow the bones
to compress enough to fit through the birth canal during
labor (you'll notice soft spots or "fontanels"
on your baby's head for a year or more after birth).
