paper gowns are stupid.

okay. this is the last belly pic you get because, to be honest, i'm sick of looking at it and i think you should be as well. i was at target today where a lady -we'll call her demon seed - told me i sure was big; was i having twins? i went immediately home and comforted myself with a wonka bar. i do not think i will leave the house again as it is dangerous out there.

39 weeks for the love of god.

*grumpy disposition
*have an area/shelf at the top of my stomach where i can store small objects, monies and wonka bars

Week Thirty-Nine

• The lanugo has mostly disappeared, (probably not- you've seen herschel right?) but you'll probably find a bit on her shoulders, arms and legs and in those protected little bodily creases. It will vanish completely on its own in time.
• His lungs are maturing and surfactant production is increasing and fully prepared to take on the outside world!
• Your baby doesn't have much room to move (that means it's time to move on weebaby)
  
• His body continues laying on the fat stores that will help regulate his body temperature after birth. In addition to normal fat, he is accumulating a special "brown" fat in the nape of his neck, between his shoulders and around organs. Brown fat cells are important for thermogenesis (generating heat) during his first weeks.
• Your infant's weight is around 7.25 pounds (3288gm) and length is 19.9 inches (50.7cm).
