Baby Lisk is growing like a weed! He is closer to 19 inches and about 6 lbs right now, which is about the size of a papaya. Baby is producing meconium, that lovely tarry substance that will make up his first poop, and all of his organ systems are basically developed, besides his digestive system. He won't start full digestion until he starts breastfeeding. After this week, he will be officially carried to term-the rest is just fat. He is consuming his lanugo and the vernix caseosa, both of which make up the meconium. Baby probably has an adorable little head full of peach fuzz. :)
Baby Lisk hasn't arrived yet so you still have time to guess on when he'll make his arrival, here. I love to see all the guesses! There will be a prize for the winner so make sure to get your guesses in! :)
Dr. Update: We had our doctor's appointment on Wednesday and all is still well with baby. My belly is still measuring right on track and he's nice and low..getting ready to come! She said my cervix is still a funnel but I'm dilated at 1-2 where baby's head is and 3-4 at the opening..so I'm progressing! Yay! She also said that my cervix is really thin and pliable. So, baby can pretty much come any day now! :) I don't he'll actually come anytime soon, though..just my personal feeling. She mentioned she was on call all weekend so if we needed her, she'd be there. So, if my water breaks or have some consistent contractions- to the hospital we will go! Our next appointment is next Thursday so we'll see if I've dilated anymore, then. :)
How far along: 36 weeks
