Week 38

Onto my 38th week of pregnancy today! Josh and I are getting very excited although sometimes he still seems to be in disbelief and says, "Can you believe we're really going to have a kid?" LOL I guess it seems much more believable to me since I'm the one with Isaac kicking and poking at me constantly. My belly is growing bigger and I feel lots of pressure/weight when I walk now. Honestly, I'm feeling miserable... uncomfortable, anxious, and emotional. I don't go to the doctor this week due to the holiday. My next appointment is next Monday, the 28th. As you know, we've been hoping for an early baby... so, the big question is whether or not Isaac will make his appearance when my family is here visiting for Thanksgiving. Will he or will he not be a turkey baby? As much as I'd love to think so, I've been thinking that he'd prefer a December birthday and will wait a bit longer.

How your baby's growing: Your baby has really fattened up. He likely weighs between 6 and 7 1/2 pounds now (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls), and he's probably between 19 and 20 inches long. He has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test with your pinky!
