Week 36: What's happening this week
Our baby is gaining about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon - I have no idea what that fruit is!) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy hair that covered his body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, he'll be considered full-term. And good news, he is already head down and has been for months. So as long as he stays that way it's just waiting for him to decide when to join us!
