Our baby is now considered "full term," even though my due date is three weeks away. If I went into labor now, her lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. She weighs around 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard).Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if our baby's hair isn't the same color as mine (Deven is convinced it will be brown... I think it could be blond...) Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
We'll just have to wait and see....:-D
